I still need to give Marenil his letter before the day is out, and reading letters from home is a nice after-dinner thing to do.

If you don't mind Fea I could do with Degas helping Kara and Marenil with the fire. I'll only keep him a few minutes during the afternoon though so it shouldn't interfere with your plans for him.

Go ahead. He's open to whatever needs doing. I'll pick him back up at "dinner time." 'Til then, papers. A never-ending pile of them.

Edit: Actually, he's currently in the stable. Feel free to remove him.

What fun! I'm glad Linduial noticed little Léoðern.

Just one thing - Léoðern's hair has a reddish tint. Not bright red or anything, just sort of strawberry blonde or titian. I think it goes well with her personality. Her brother is golden blonde, though (so is Garstan). Don't think I mentioned that yet...

And a quick note - I'm out of town from tomorrow morning until Saturday afternoon. Special performance in NYC to attend, so I won't be able to catch up on anything after about 10 on Friday. I'll stay up late tonight to fix any loose ends so that the day can move on.

A question...

From one unlearned in the lore of unusual letters:

What is "ð"? And how is it pronounced?

It's the letter "Eth" in Old English.

Ð (capital letter); ð (small letter)

It has a 'th' sound - often like the 'th' in the word - the; but occasionally it has the softer 'th' sound as in the word - thing.

HERE

This is the other 'th' sound - called "Thorn":

Þ (capital letter); þ (small letter)

-------------------------------------------------------------------------

You can access these letters and many others using a tool program on your computer:

Just click on these steps in this order.

Start --- All Programs --- Accessories --- System Tools --- Character Map

Or, you can do this:

Alt key+0240 = ð

That's good to know. I've been using the copy->paste method. Thanks, Pio.
