Solution

They were dressed in strangely eccentric clothing; shorts shirts and different garments they carried in their hands. Their bodies, from throat to ankle, were hidden by black cloaks, which bore a long silver cross on the left breast. The boy who controlled them came forward, vaulted on to the platform with his cloak flying and peered into what was almost complete darkness. Whereas, the man with the trumpet, Ralph, sensing his sun blindness, answered him, “There’s no man with a trumpet, only me.” The boy came close and peered down at Ralph, screwing up his face. As he did so, he turned quickly, “Isn’t there a ship then?” He was tall, thin and bony. His face was crumpled and freckled. Out of his face stared two light blue eyes, frustrated now and turning or ready to turn to anger. “Isn’t there a man here?” Ralph spoke to his back. “No, we’re having a meeting come and join us.”
