Three Men Asked Twice

Caught by House Foundry, led by Brannoch Vell.
Block 975,114. Link 43 of Book 939 in the Fifth Age.

  • Passage creeps up

Tenter Wharf, toll-ledger, link 975,114. House Foundry, Brannoch Vell. Carried 2,857 at two and six-tenths drops a span. Boats out on the hour, the last one with its gunwale a hand under. Fares up since the morning bell; three Foundry men asked the price twice and paid it. No grey band entered. Span-count checked by the boatman’s knots, not by me.
