29	775	The two court guards then entered, conducting, between them, a woman in the robes of concealment, fully veiled.	10
29	833	She tried to back away, but was prevented from doing so by one of the court's guards.	10

26	170	That legend, I was informed, would return me to an address unlikely to be recognized as having anything to do with the black court, from which address I would then be, in due time, returned to the court.	10

26	254	"It is no longer viable, not since the black court".	10
