The truth is she has not slept through the night since she arrived in this landlocked kingdom, though it would be beneath her to complain of it. ![]() The heavy tapestries on the walls hold the heat, and now it seems to close in on her. Itís been just a few hours since her attendants sprinkled the floor with citronñscented water to freshen the air, but the relief hasn't lasted. She wakes in the night with her throat parched and dust in her nostrils.
