Mother, the stencil cutter has finished the last of the sheets, and I have counted them twice because the clerk from Vessari swore we were four short. We were not. He had miscounted the bands, not the sheets, and he was too proud to admit it in front of the captain, who took the tally from him and handed it back to me without a word.

The designs came up from the lower valley in oilcloth rolls. Ten bands to a sheet: a top row of blue triangles like the teeth of a pike, a second row of pale triangles stacked point to point, then the diamonds that the weavers of Ostrel call the eyes of the river. Between the diamonds run the chevrons, blue and gold and a silver that goes grey when the light is poor. Hanna says the gold is real leaf ground into the ink, so each sheet costs more than the cart it rides on. I told her that was a foolish thing to put on something meant to come off.
Captain Orrin took one to the border gate on Tuesday. He peeled the largest band of blue triangles onto the inside of his wrist and held it out to the customs man, who squinted, grunted, and let the wagon through to the bridge. The blue will be gone in three days. The gold will stay longest, which is the trouble with gold.
