Chapter 4 Summary

As the acting group settles into the town, they rent out a space in a barn adjoining the town's inn. Although they are unhappy with their overcharged fee at the inn, the group nevertheless agrees to the price because they have nowhere else to stay. They unload their belongings, including Brendan, into the barn. Margaret changes Brendan's clothes again because he cannot be buried in a clerical habit.

Martin and Tobias visit a priest to arrange Brendan's burial and return to the barn enraged because the priest has also overcharged them. Martin's comments about the priest offend Nicolas, but he says nothing. Tobias explains that there are good and bad people in every role.

The narrator discovers that the castle in the distance belongs to Lord Richard de Guise, who owns the town and all the land eastward to the ocean.
