Rand and Mat unload the first barrels and enter the common room of the inn, to find not only Tam and Bran, but Cenn Buie and Haral Luhhan present. Master Luhhan frowns at Mat. Mistress al'Vere brings out some food, and says the boys can get something to eat in the kitchen when they're done. In the cellar, Mat tells Rand that Master Luhhan is mad at him, and explains that he played a prank on Adan al'Caar, Ewin Finngar, and Dag Coplin using two of Master Luhhan's dogs, and his joke ended up getting flour all over the Luhhan house.
