| Well, I knew after so many lovely families you'd have to throw in a Goran for balance. :) Not that anyone who is strong in his family has anything to fear, but yes: he's totally blind to the difficulties his daughter-in-law is facing. Yay! for dear Mistress Dorlas calling him on it, useless though it was. Of course, I did like Goran's attitude towards the special arrangement between Dorlas and Henderch. As always, you build such appealing layers of complexity into each one of your characters. Author Reply: Actually, Goran is not so bad. He's just one of those people who are never ill, and can't understand that not everyone is made of such hard stuff. | |

| Oh, I would love to try some of that mutton as described, yum! Silly man, thinking so terribly macho, but I guess it is normal for a great hardy man to not be able to understand frailty. Even today, some men and even women can not seem to 'get it'. Author Reply: It's a strange thing, actually. The butcher was originally planned to be a much more... jovial character, generally content with his life and with the people around him. But he's somehow gained a life of his own and refused to be whom I had planned him to be, becoming instead the bully that you've met in this part. To be honest, the mutton treat is something I've made up at a whim of my heart. Only the pepper sauce is from the online Book of Goode Cookery. *g* | |
