Nynaeve gave Uno and Ragan each a good glare before stalking off in the opposite direction There she had had everything arranged properly, and they had to nearly ruin it all Men always see If she had had a stout stick, she would have thumped all three of them about the shoulders until they saw reason

She gave him a look that snapped his teeth shut and stalked on The two Shienarans kept pace to either side

What was she going to do with them? That she should put them to some use was never in doubt; their appearance was too providential to throay For one thing, two additional pairs of eyes -- well, three eyes anyway; she was going to learn to look at that patch without sing if it killed her --one sooner All very well if Masema or Galad found a vessel first, but she did not want either to knowwhat eitherme because Masema told you to look afterdifference does it on has su, as she raised one finger Ragan eyed it as if it were a weapon
