The romantic in me swooned: But when he looked in those large, clear grey eyes, he knew he would marry Breage again.

And then there is Loarne's pragmatic wisdom, handled exceptionally well.

EEEwwww! Bloodletting is not one of those smart treatments that came from the middle ages. In your research, did you not find it did more harm than good? I like it that Loarne has so much freedom and usefulness. She is fortunate in her place within the family.

Author Reply: Well, actually bloodletting does have its merits agains high blood pressure and a few other things. One of my great-grandmothers used it semi-regularly, at least so family legend tells. Not even Mum can tell whether it's true or not. *g*

In any case, for Lord Peredur's mother it was surely useful. She had way too much "bad blood" in her, and other malevolent "humours", to borrow another medieval term. :))
