Emily and Ilse ate their supper with what appetite they could summon up, while Grandfather Bradshaw watched them suspiciously, and sorrowful sounds reached them from the little inner room.

It was a faint and sorrowful sound, and the boy thought that he might be the only one in Boulder awake enough to hear it.

He told them about Chaka's Gate how he had searched for his grandfather's grave and the men who had come to hunt him, and when he had finished the story they were all silent, until at last Sean roused himself, sighed, a gusty, sorrowful sound, before he spoke.

There was no accusation in his voice, only the sorrowful sound of resignation.
