Ysolde’s Margin Note
- Cheap passage
- Busier than the day
- Passage slackens
In the margin of the Candle Rolls, in Ysolde Marr’s small upright hand: Fishpond’s link, 7,262 travellers carried on a tenth of a drop a span, the Sallow Cross crowd loud enough to hear through the shutters. The candle held steady to the last character. Nothing to add, except that the oil in the reading lamp is lower than the Rolls say it should be, and the lamp is not hers to refill.
