Hiccuping Hermit Niall Widdershins doesn't look all that surprised to see us back again, coming on the pretext of bringing a sausage and pepper sandwich and hot spiced cider to pay him back for the yummy crumpets.

Kaline pipes up, "And besides, EVERYONE enjoys the sausage and pepper sandwiches on Market Day. The line is abominable. Did you ever? I cannot believe it."
