Chapter 28

"Lost someone, have we?" The speaker was a strange sight. She was old and bent over. Her hair white and tangled with twigs and leaves. Alexandra even saw a bird's nest. Yet, as bent and twisted as she was she had to look down slightly at Alexandra.
"I said, have you lost someone? Close your mouth, it isn't polite to stare. I would have thought that a princess would be better raised than that." Alexandra had to fight against staring again. Obviously, this was a giant, and yet unlike any giant she had ever heard about.
"Yes, a friend of mine wandered off, and I am worried about him."
