Chapters 6-10 Summary

Chapter 6 - Fire and Stars

Elinor has a burglar alarm that she agrees to turn off so that Meggie and Dustfinger can be out on the grounds after dark. Elinor lets Meggie out and watches the performance from her bedroom window. Dustfinger puts on a dazzling display of juggling and fire manipulation.

During the performance, a group of Capricorn's men break into the house. Meggie, hearing crashing from the manor, returns to investigate. Elinor intercepts her and pulls her into a side room, telling her that there is no hope of resisting the men, who are armed. The phone line has been cut and Elinor is unable to call the police. The men take Mo prisoner and leave. Meggie breaks free from Elinor's grip and chases them to the gate, but to no avail.
