What is the shining something that Rickie spotted far down in the cool green depths of Semerwater? The Wandering Minstrel seems oddly excited about it and yet surely he cannot know the old legend that Mary Mowbray has just told to Judith during their walk to see' the Carlow Stone and the Mermaids. Old Harland Metcalfe might have the answer, but didn't he slam the door of Semerwater House in their faces? Or did he?
