Magda has to leave, and asks Owen to watch her home at night while she is gone. She believes someone is trying to steal the contents of her bone jar–which she is holding for Bone Man who will take the bones away and properly bury them.<\/p>\n

\u201cYou have the bones buried? Is that common practice?\u201d <\/p>\n

Magda shrugged. \u201cIt\u2019s Magda\u2019s way.\u201d <\/p>\n

\u201cWhy not make some profit on them?\u201d <\/p>\n

The sharp eyes bored through him. \u201cThinkst thou art clever? Pah. Magda pities the poor wretches who pray to dried skin and bones, expecting miracle cures. She won\u2019t be part of such traffic.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

This is an extremely short story that reads more like an outtake from a book than a full-fledged story. In other words, probably not a good story for someone who is not already familiar with the series.<\/p>\n
