“Do you know why I had the girl brought here,Beats by dr dre, Dustfinger?” called Capricorn up to his prisoner. “She was to persuade you to tell us something about her father and where he is – if you really know anything, which I begin to doubt. But now I don’t need the information anymore. The daughter can take her father’s place, and just at the right time, too! For I’ve decided that we must think up something really special for your punishment. Something impressive, something memorable! After all, that’s only right for a traitor,Monster headphones, isn’t it?
Can you guess what my idea is? No? Then let me give you a clue. In your honor, my new reader will read aloud to us from Ink-heart. It’s your favorite book,Earphones, after all, even though I know you’re not very fond of the character I want her to bring out of it. Her father would have fetched that old friend for me long ago if you hadn’t helped him to escape, but now his daughter will do it. Can you guess who it is I mean?”
Dustfinger laid his scarred cheek against the net. “Oh yes, indeed I can. How could I ever forget him?” he said so quietly that Meggie could hardly make out the words.
“Why are you talking only about the fire-eater’s punishment?” The Magpie had appeared between the columns again “Have you forgotten our little mute pigeon, Resa? Her treachery was at least as bad as his.” She looked up at the second net with a disdainful expression.
“Yes,Monster Beats, to be sure,Ferrari Headphones!” There was something almost like regret in Capricorn’s voice. “Ah, what a waste – but there’s nothing else for it.”
Meggie couldn’t see the face of the woman dangling in the second net just beyond Dustfinger. She saw only the dark blond hair,Monster dr dre, a blue dress, and slender hands clinging to the ropes.
