As if summoned, Weyr Woman Jillie entered the kitchen cavern, Ona and thetwo other suitable queen candidates in tow. She didn't miss the wayJillie's h...nd was affectionately guiding the crippled girl, or that shewas moving slower, more carefully to allow for the deformed foot.She also noticed how more than a few conversations stopped, how riderstook notice of Ona.
