When the Saracen, Sir Carahue, had joined Holger and his companions, he:
"...added they had better acquire a mule, on which Hugi could ride with ample food supplies." (p. 113)
- and the following chapter confirms that this has been done.
Thus, I am paid back for suggesting here that the attached cover illustration was inaccurate: a price to be paid for posting while reading although I willingly pay it.
However, surely, to be fully accurate, this illustration should show Carahue now travelling alongside Holger, dwarf and swan?
In any case, that is my lot for this evening. I relax by returning to other reading that (usually) does not require me to think about posting.
Tomorrow is another day and all that.

Kaor, Paul!
At least this is one of the better cover illustrations I've seen for any of Anderson's stories.
Ad astra! Sean
