“Flaming bread?” I asked.
“It was all that I could find on or near the stove,” Dabir explained, a trifle embarrassed. “And it took a moment too long to catch ablaze.”
"Nay, you arrived in time. Though I really think you ought to get into the habit of carrying a sword.”
"Perhaps it was apropos,”Dabir ventured with a sly smile. “Bread is the staff of life.” He was adept at many things, but his humor was often wanting.

Dabir’s tired look spoke volumes. “The girl chose its side, not the golem. It was a thing of stone.”
“But she said…”
“You were kind to her; who else in her little world was ever so? She showered affection upon a creature with no heart, no feelings, and imagined it gave them back. Perhaps she even thought it avenged her honor against Sabih. I do not know.”
“So she has killed her father.”
“Yes.”
"And her friend.”
“Yes.
