Thanks for the update on the timeline
I did not see James coming. That's quite a revelation. But who's the old sorcerer? I'm guessing it's not the Imp. Mainly because he seems too impish and not likely to settle and grow pumpkins.
Loisette watched wide-eyed as the stableboy took off his shirt. And then when he began to slide his pants down, she yelped, “S-stop!” She wasn’t sure whether she was protesting because she shouldn’t be seeing him half-naked--he wouldn’t have gotten *completely* naked, would he have?--or because she couldn’t go swimming with him since she *wasn’t actually a boy*, but she did know that she felt highly uncomfortable with the situation.
Yeah, I'm *sure* it's one of the above and not something else entirely.
He nearly cried out after Gawain, but he didn’t think the other boy would listen even if he did. With clumsy fingers, he put his shirt back on, staring mournfully in the direction that his friend had disappeared.

She wrenched her eyes away and turned her head, flushing. It was inappropriate for her to notice how well-built a commoner was. She shouldn’t be thinking about reaching out to wipe off the sweat trickling down his chest or running her hands down his arms to feel the bulge of muscles. The thought of Catherine’s obsession with sweaty boys returned to her, and she gulped to herself. She was really beginning to understand that obsession.
But at least she will have nice images to warm her during her lonely nights
Mishal was utterly smitten by a knight at court named Arneld, and he was all she talked about.
The Sitkovices?
Something Kathy said in last part's FDK:
One can only hope that she at least got revenge on Sir Klaud and he could never sully the reputation of another maiden, ever again.
Hmm, I don't think Sir Klaud sullied the reputation of a maiden. No matter how much I enjoyed Catherine's antics, she did appear like she was to blame, too, and playing Russian Roulette in a time without birth control.
