“Oh dear God in heaven!” Egelric said reverently.

Ethelwyn had knocked twice, but within there were not even the sounds of a man trying to ignore him. He knew that Sir Sigefrith’s household was not as well-run as Sir Egelric’s—few were, after all—but he had thought that someone would have been at work on a Monday morning after the big market, whether Thorric the steward or Sir Sigefrith himself.
