They move and make peace with someone she formerly had a grudge with and he set her up in Venice to meet people of money. She becomes well known and they are living happily ever after until the dwarf notices a valuable book is missing and recognizes their healer was a person in their household when they were robbed and is sure she did it. He ransacks her house while she is gone looking for the book and does not find it. He does take away some small objects which he drops and is unable to retrieve because they have fallen in the water. Later the objects are found and cause her house to be ransacked by the local law and she is accused of being a witch. Turns out she did steal from them - ruby - way back when, but she did not take the book.
