Summary[]

Point of view: Matrim Cauthon

Thom is sick with a severe cough. Mat wants him to see a Wise Woman, but Thom says he does not need foul-tasting concoctions. Mat thinks Thom’s cough will not go away on its own. Mat takes Thom to the nearby house where he had seen herbs in the window on the first night when they arrived. As he arrives, he can still see tracks from the carriage that carried Egwene, Nynaeve, and Elayne away to the Stone. He knocks on the door and Mother Guenna reluctantly agrees to help.

Inside, Mat looks through the window and sees three horses tied up in the back, which is unusual in this part of the city. Thom yells at Guenna for her foul tasting medicine and she yells back at him. Mat decides to make some conversation to smooth things over and comments on Guenna's accent which sounds like the Amyrlin's. Mother Guenna says she knew some girls with his accent. Even though the names are different, after they share descriptions Mat knows he has found the three girls. After some convincing and swearing to secrecy, Mat gets her to tell him where they went. She tells him they were taken to the Stone on orders of High Lord Samon, by women who could channel, just three hours ago. Guenna cannot understand why a High Lord would be consorting with Aes Sedai when channeling is illegal in Tear, a law that the High Lords themselves made. Mat is relieved because Aes Sedai would not hurt them, as Accepted, but Guenna says they resisted fiercely and the Aes Sedai hurt them badly. Mat is so angry at himself for walking past this house on the first night that he punches the wall without realizing it. Mat leaves to find a way to get the girls out and leaves Thom with Mother Guenna, despite Thom's protests. As he heads back to the inn, he feels dice tumbling in his head for the first time.
