Je p\u0159ipravena. Zvedne hlavu a\u00a0vypad\u00e1 jako kr\u00e1lovna. Prudce pokyne otci:
\u201ePoj\u010f sem!\u201c
On jde. Ona mu lehce polo\u017e\u00ed ruku na pa\u017ei a\u00a0s\u00a0kytic\u00ed jako na p\u0159ehl\u00eddce kr\u00e1\u010d\u00ed nadm\u00edru p\u016fvabn\u011b, jen trochu ji roz\u010diluje, \u017ee otec je tak rud\u00fd ve tv\u00e1\u0159i, pomalu si to nese kolem roz\u010dilen\u00e9 Tilly a\u00a0pak po cesti\u010dce.

Otec sed\u011bl zmaten\u00fd v\u0161\u00ed tou nezvyklost\u00ed, srdce m\u011bl tak p\u0159epln\u011bn\u00e9, \u017ee mu p\u0159ipadalo tuh\u00e9, a\u00a0na nic nemohl myslet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201eJ\u00e1,\u201c \u0159ekl rychle.
Anna sklonila hlavu a\u00a0usm\u00e1la se pod z\u00e1vojem. Jak je sm\u011b\u0161n\u00fd!

\u201eA\u00a0vy dva se p\u011bkn\u011b p\u0159ipravte a\u00a0p\u016fjdete na lo\u017ee,\u201c k\u0159i\u010del Tom Brangwen. \u201eDejte si na\u010das, ale jestli nebudete rychl\u00ed jako blesk, tak nikam nepojedete a\u00a0budete sp\u00e1t ka\u017ed\u00fd zvl\u00e1\u0161\u0165.\u201c
Anna se ti\u0161e zvedla a\u00a0\u0161la se p\u0159evl\u00e9knout. Will u\u017e se chystal vyj\u00edt, ale Tilly sama p\u0159inesla klobouk a\u00a0kab\u00e1t a\u00a0pomohla mu.
\u201eTak hodn\u011b \u0161t\u011bst\u00ed, chlap\u010de,\u201c k\u0159i\u010del jeho otec.
\u201eKuj \u017eelezo, dokud je \u017ehav\u00fd,\u201c radil str\u00fdc Frank.
\u201eJenom pomalou\u010dku, polehou\u010dku,\u201c volala naopak teta, Frankova \u017eena.
\u201eNen\u00ed nutn\u00fd, abys to l\u00e1mal p\u0159es koleno,\u201c \u0159ekl p\u0159i\u017een\u011bn\u00fd str\u00fdc. \u201eNejsi b\u00fdk.\u201c
\u201eV\u0161ak on u\u017e si najde svou cesti\u010dku,\u201c podr\u00e1\u017ed\u011bn\u011b se ozval Tom Brangwen. \u201eNechte si sv\u00fd rady pro sebe\u00a0\u2013 je to jeho svatba, ne va\u0161e.\u201c
\u201eNepot\u0159ebuje vodit za ru\u010di\u010dku,\u201c pov\u00edd\u00e1 jeho otec. \u201eJsou cesty, po kter\u00fdch mu\u017esk\u00fdho mus\u00edte v\u00e9st, a\u00a0pak jsou cesty, kudy mus\u00ed \u0161ilhav\u00fd j\u00edt s\u00a0jedn\u00edm okem zav\u0159en\u00fdm.
Ale tuhle cestu nem\u016f\u017ee spl\u00e9st ani slep\u00fd, ani \u0161ilhav\u00fd nebo mrz\u00e1k\u00a0\u2013 a\u00a0on nen\u00ed ani jedno z\u00a0toho, zapla\u0165\u00adp\u00e1mbu.\u201c
\u201eJen si nebu\u010fte tou cestou tak jist\u00ed,\u201c zvolala Frankova \u017eena. \u201eNajde se mnoho mu\u017esk\u00fdch, co ujdou do polovi\u010dky, a\u00a0za boha pak nem\u016f\u017eou d\u00e1l.\u201c
\u201eAle, jakpak jsi na to p\u0159i\u0161la?\u201c pov\u00edd\u00e1 Alfr\u00e9d.
\u201eN\u011bkterejm je to zrovna vid\u011bt na o\u010d\u00edch,\u201c op\u00e1\u010dila Lizzie, jeho \u0161vagrov\u00e1.
Mlad\u00edk st\u00e1l a\u00a0chab\u011b se usm\u00edval, sly\u0161el jen nap\u016fl. M\u011bl napjat\u00fd a\u00a0nep\u0159\u00edtomn\u00fd v\u00fdraz. To, co pov\u00eddali, i\u00a0cokoli jin\u00e9ho, se ho t\u00e9m\u011b\u0159 net\u00fdkalo.
Anna se\u0161la dol\u016f ve sv\u00fdch v\u0161edn\u00edch \u0161atech a\u00a0s\u00a0nep\u0159\u00edtomn\u00fdm v\u00fdrazem. Pol\u00edbila v\u0161echny, Will si s\u00a0ka\u017ed\u00fdm pot\u0159\u00e1sl rukou, pol\u00edbil matku, kter\u00e1 se dala do pl\u00e1\u010de, a\u00a0cel\u00e1 spole\u010dnost se vyhrnula ven k\u00a0dro\u017ece.
Mlad\u00ed novoman\u017eel\u00e9 nastoupili, svateb\u010dan\u00e9 vyk\u0159ikovali posledn\u00ed rady.
\u201eJe\u010fte,\u201c zvolal Tom Brangwen.
Dro\u017eka vyjela. Vid\u011bli, jak se pod jasany zmen\u0161uje jej\u00ed sv\u011btlo. Pak se ztichl\u00e1 spole\u010dnost odebrala znovu dovnit\u0159.
\u201e\u0158ekl jsem Emm\u011b, a\u0165 rozd\u011bl\u00e1 ohe\u0148 v\u00a0dev\u011bt, a\u00a0pak nech\u00e1 dve\u0159e na z\u00e1padku. Je teprve p\u016fl des\u00e1t\u00e9. Budou m\u00edt zatopeno ve t\u0159ech m\u00edstnostech, rozsv\u00edcen\u00e9 lampy a\u00a0Emma nah\u0159eje postel oh\u0159\u00edvac\u00ed l\u00e1hv\u00ed. Tak bych myslel, \u017ee jim nic nechyb\u00ed. \u0158ekla, \u017ee nechce slu\u017eku,\u201c pov\u00edd\u00e1 Tom Brangwen. \u201eStaven\u00ed nen\u00ed tak velk\u00e9, po\u0159\u00e1d by ji m\u011bla u\u00a0nosu. Emma ud\u011bl\u00e1, co po n\u00ed budou cht\u00edt, a\u00a0p\u0159itom budou sami.\u201c
\u201eTak je to nejlep\u0161\u00ed,\u201c \u0159ekla Lizzie, \u201e\u010dlov\u011bk je svobodn\u011bj\u0161\u00ed.\u201c
A\u00a0mluvili pomalu d\u00e1l. Brangwen se d\u00edval na hodinky.
\u201ePoj\u010fme jim zazp\u00edvat koledu,\u201c \u0159ekl. \u201eHouslisty najdem v\u00a0hospo\u00add\u011b U\u00a0kohouta a\u00a0\u010dervenky.\u201c
\u201eTak poj\u010fme,\u201c souhlasil Frank.
Alfr\u00e9d, \u0161vagr a\u00a0jeden z\u00a0Willov\u00fdch bratr\u016f se zvedli a vy\u0161li ven. Noc sv\u00edtila hv\u011bzdami.
Sirius z\u00e1\u0159il jako sign\u00e1ln\u00ed sv\u011btlo na \u00fabo\u010d\u00ed kopce, majest\u00e1tn\u00ed a\u00a0\u00fa\u017easn\u00fd Orion o\u00a0n\u011bco n\u00ed\u017e.
Tom \u0161el se sv\u00fdm bratrem Alfr\u00e9dem. Okovan\u00e9 boty mu\u017e\u016f zvonily o\u00a0zem.
\u201eJe kr\u00e1sn\u00e1 noc,\u201c \u0159ekl Tom.
\u201eBa,\u201c p\u0159isv\u011bd\u010dil Alfr\u00e9d.
\u201eJe p\u0159\u00edjemn\u00fd vyj\u00edt ven.\u201c
\u201eTo jo.\u201c
Brat\u0159i \u0161li bl\u00edzko sebe, krevn\u00ed pouto mezi nimi bylo siln\u00e9. Tom si v\u017edycky p\u0159ipadal o\u00a0mnoho mlad\u0161\u00ed ne\u017e Alfr\u00e9d.
\u201eJe to u\u017e dlouho, cos ode\u0161el z\u00a0domu,\u201c \u0159ekl.
\u201eBa,\u201c p\u0159isv\u011bd\u010dil Alfr\u00e9d. \u201eMyslel jsem si, \u017ee u\u017e jdu kap\u00e1nek do let\u00a0\u2013 ale ne. St\u00e1rnou jen ty v\u011bci, co m\u00e1\u0161, ty ne.\u201c
\u201eNo a\u00a0co st\u00e1rne?\u201c
\u201eV\u011bt\u0161ina lid\u00ed, s\u00a0kter\u00fdma m\u00e1m co do \u010din\u011bn\u00ed\u00a0\u2013 co maj\u00ed co do \u010din\u011bn\u00ed se mnou. V\u0161ichni se hrout\u00ed. \u010clov\u011bk mus\u00ed j\u00edt d\u00e1l s\u00e1m, a\u0165 by to bylo k\u00a0zatracen\u00ed. Ani tam nejde nikdo s\u00a0tebou.\u201c
Tom Brangwen o\u00a0tom zap\u0159em\u00edtal.
\u201eMo\u017en\u00e1 ses nikdy nedal zkrotit,\u201c \u0159ekl.
\u201eNe, to teda ne,\u201c odv\u011btil Alfr\u00e9d py\u0161n\u011b.
A\u00a0Tom uc\u00edtil, \u017ee j\u00edm star\u0161\u00ed bratr trochu opovrhuje. V\u00a0duchu se odt\u00e1hl.
\u201eKa\u017ed\u00fd m\u00e1 svou vlastn\u00ed cestu,\u201c opakoval um\u00edn\u011bn\u011b. \u201eJen pes ji nem\u00e1. A\u00a0ti, co nedovedou br\u00e1t, co sami d\u00e1vaj\u00ed, ti musej\u00ed j\u00edt sami, nebo si opat\u0159it psa, kterej by \u0161el za nimi.\u201c
\u201eSvedou to i\u00a0bez psa,\u201c odpov\u011bd\u011bl bratr. A\u00a0Tom Brangwen si op\u011bt p\u0159ipadal pokorn\u00fd a\u00a0bratr mu p\u0159ipadal v\u011bt\u0161\u00ed. Ale pros\u00edm, a\u0165 si je. A\u00a0jestli je lep\u0161\u00ed j\u00edt s\u00e1m, tak a\u0165, on s\u00e1m o\u00a0to nest\u00e1l.
P\u0159e\u0161li p\u0159es pole, kde se do nich pod hv\u011bzdami op\u0159el siln\u00fd v\u00edtr zpoza kopce. P\u0159i\u0161li ke sch\u016fdk\u016fm p\u0159es plot a\u00a0k\u00a0bo\u010dn\u00ed st\u011bn\u011b Annina domku. Sv\u011btla byla zhasnut\u00e1, jen na rolet\u00e1ch doln\u00edch m\u00edstnost\u00ed a\u00a0v\u00a0lo\u017enici naho\u0159e prosv\u00edtaly plameny ohn\u011b.
\u201eRad\u0161i bysme je m\u011bli nechat na pokoji,\u201c ozval se Alfr\u00e9d Brangwen.
\u201eNe, ne,\u201c nesouhlasil Tom. \u201eZazp\u00edv\u00e1me jim koledu, naposledy.\u201c
A\u00a0za \u010dtvrt hodiny pot\u00e9 se jeden\u00e1ct ml\u010denliv\u00fdch, pon\u011bkud podrou\u0161en\u00fdch mu\u017e\u016f \u0161kr\u00e1balo p\u0159es z\u00eddku do zahrady k\u00a0tis\u016fm, p\u0159ed okna, kde na rolet\u00e1ch slab\u011b z\u00e1\u0159ilo sv\u011btlo z\u00a0krbu. Ozval se pronikav\u00fd zvuk, dvoje housle a\u00a0pikola se rozezn\u011bly v\u00a0mraziv\u00e9m vzduchu.
\u201eJd\u011bte, jd\u011bte, posp\u011b\u0161te\u2026\u201c sm\u011bsice mu\u017esk\u00fdch hlas\u016f se rozezp\u00edvala v\u00a0neslad\u011bn\u00e9m unisonu.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Anna sebou polekan\u011b trhla, kdy\u017e usly\u0161ela hudbu.
\u201eTo jsou jen koledn\u00edci,\u201c za\u0161eptal Will.
Z\u016fstala v\u0161ak napjat\u00e1, srdce j\u00ed popla\u0161en\u011b tlouklo, jako by je zachv\u00e1til podivn\u00fd a\u00a0siln\u00fd strach. Pak se jeden p\u0159es druh\u00fd ozvaly mu\u017esk\u00e9 hlasy. St\u00e1le je\u0161t\u011b nap\u00ednala u\u0161i a\u00a0poslouchala.
\u201eTo je t\u00e1ta,\u201c \u0159ekla ti\u0161e. Ml\u010deli a\u00a0poslouchali.
\u201eA\u00a0m\u016fj otec,\u201c dodal.
Znovu klesla na l\u016f\u017eko, do jeho n\u00e1ru\u010de. P\u0159itiskl ji k\u00a0sob\u011b a\u00a0l\u00edbal ji. Venku d\u00e1l hlaholil chvalozp\u011bv, v\u0161ichni mu\u017ei zp\u00edvali, jak nejl\u00e9pe um\u011bli, a\u00a0o\u010darov\u00e1ni houslemi a\u00a0melodi\u00ed, na v\u0161e ostatn\u00ed zapomn\u011bli. Sv\u011btlo ohn\u011b \u017ehnulo tmou v\u00a0pokoji. Anna sly\u0161ela, jak jej\u00ed otec s\u00a0chut\u00ed zp\u00edv\u00e1.
\u201eTo je n\u00e1pad,\u201c za\u0161eptala.
A\u00a0tiskli se k\u00a0sob\u011b je\u0161t\u011b v\u00edc a\u00a0v\u00edc, srdce jim bu\u0161ila v\u00a0t\u011bsn\u00e9 bl\u00edzkosti. A\u00a0p\u0159esto\u017ee p\u00edsni\u010dka je\u0161t\u011b pokra\u010dovala, p\u0159estali ji vn\u00edmat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
