Gostilna v Kirkwallu je imela pet miz in ogenj. Polly je sedla blizu toplote."Lahko vidim jedilni list?"je vprašala. Na kartici je bilo le nekaj jedi.
"Mi lahko priporočite kakšno dobro jed?"Lastnica je bila čaplja. Rekla je bannock. Bere je ječmen, ki ga tu gojijo že stoletja. Raste hitro, v kratkem poletju.
"Imate vegetarijanske jedi?"je vprašala Polly. Čaplja je pokazala na isto vrstico. Bannock, maslo in mehak sir.
"Lahko dobimo račun, prosim?"je rekla Polly. Čaplja si je vzela čas, kar je dobro znamenje. Zunaj je bilo skoraj brezvetrje. Polly je šla navzgor do rdeče stolnice.
