The pretty black-haired newsgirl was a bit old for the job but she had advantages over her competition. Charade slipped her a quarter sovereign as she took the paper. The paper cost a fraction of that. The generosity went unacknowledged, a quick smile before it disappeared into a pocket as Charade walked away. A short walk down the busy street and then a casual turn into an alley got her out of sight. Between the pages of the paper she found it. A slip of red paper with a few scribbled words. Looks like she was going back to Kirkwall.
