Matters looked exceedingly promising for her plans.
For all that, she did not forget Say Koitza; but she had been to some extent forewarned, and as soon as Say heard of Shotaye's absence she must suspect the truth.

After all, Say was in no real danger.

Until the campaign was over, there was no time to think of her case, and during that campaign Shotaye would provide for the Queres such a rough handling that no thoughts of witchcraft trials would trouble them for some time to come.

For there should be mourning, sadness, grief, howling, and gnashing of teeth on the Rito on a very large scale.
Still she did not lose sight of the possibility that her absence might be noticed at an early day, and might arouse suspicion.

It was possible, though not at all likely.
