The Book of the Lion Chapter 21 Summary

  • Okay, maybe diarrhea is something to worry about—after all, this is way back in the day and out at sea.
  • As Edmund tosses and turns in bed with a fever, he can hear the other sick men shiver and cough and die. He feels that this is retribution for Otto's sin, that it's coming back to get him.
  • He falls asleep and dreams of Elvira, the girl he loves at home.
  • He wakes up and sees Rannulf greasing his equipment nearby. The knight offers a word of comfort, and Edmund apologizes for being a useless squire.
  • Edmund wakes again, this time to complete quiet. He's dragged out of his bed to come up on deck and see the sight: The ship is anchored and they have arrived in the great city of Acre.
