As the wagons draw nearer, it seems to Beedah that the group is too small to be a circus and a gypsy vardo would likely have more than three wagons.  It's too colorful for farmers, merchants or a medicine show and... that means... actors!<br/><br/>"Sarah," says Beedah in a low tone, "They probably won't care about anything that I might say, but try to spy if they have their acting company's name on their wagons.  Tell them that you've heard of them and about how your friends said how very believable all of the actors are.  Actors love that kind of praise.  Then say that you'd consider it an honor to ride with them and guard them for a time....  Oh, and don't be surprised if I call you, 'Mistress Sarah' again.  I'll start calling you just 'Sarah' when we're alone."<br/><br/>As the wagons neared, Beedah took a position about three steps behind Sarah and a little bit to her left.
