Saborgan placed his feet where the White-Haired Empress guided them and he danced with his eyes closed, silently weeping. His incessant, heavy steps, however, made it impossible for Widow Lebbil to sleep, and enraged, she would struggle out of bed and, standing on a chair, would begin pounding and pounding on the ceiling with her cane - having no effect, whatsoever, on the stomping around, "back and forth, round and round, this way and that" of Saborgan and the Empress.
