When Freda rides out from Elfheugh:
"The wind whined around her and bit through layers of fur." (p. 112)
When she realizes that she is pursued by trolls:
"The wind of her gallop screamed about her, nigh ripping her from the saddle, forcing her to shield her eyes with an upraised arm." (p. 113)
Air hoots and bites. During the prolonged pursuit:
"Time brawled past like the wind." (ibid.)
She is captured by a troll but immediately rescued by the returning Skafloc!
Meanwhile, elven women welcome troll invaders into Elfheugh. Leea has spoken of:
"'Women's weapons...'" (p. 110)
The trolls will be put off their guard and, in the fullness of time, slaughtered.

Kaor, Paul!
Ha! The trolls should have been more suspicious and watchful of those elvish women.
Ad astra! Sean
