1. I think she ...I hope you get to feeling better! <br />1. I think she firmly believed that it was Lionheart. It probably never entered her mind that it could be Athelbald, but perhaps it was.

I think she sees Lionheart...but as you mentioned earlier, it kind of makes me wonder about the "foreshadowing" of what Aethelbald must do to free her...<br /><br />2. Una was not as one living. <br /><br />Also like the lines you pointed out about Felix and being a prince.<br /><br />Question: is the poem she recites after she hears the wood thrush pertain to her and Aethelbald? "We who were never bound are swiftly torn apart. Won't you return to..."<br /><br />Also, in regards to literary nods...have you read Hind's Feet and High Places?

So she saw him trying to kill. That's what I thought origionally.<br /><br />2)I don't have a favorite line, but a scene. My favorite Eanrin scene is the one at the begining of this chapter. Though, it really isn't about him. And Eanrin acts so humble and... un-Eanrinish. I love the idea of that world bright and pure, and Eanrin coming to bow and apologize before the Prince.<br /><br />Oh, and Eanrin means 'Handsome'. I'm sure the great Bard would approveof that.<br /><br />Thank you for answering my question, by the way.

"That's not what I mean," Felix snapped. "I cannot go a step more away from my father. I cannot abandon him in this hour." "Obeying and abandoning are hardly one and the same," Janus said. "Keep up, Your Highness." "He's my father!" Felix protested. "And he's commanded you to go north with us." I'm your prince!" "Whom I have been commanded to escort safely." "Without my father here, I am your superior." "Yet your father's word is superior to your own, Your Highness, whether he is present or not."<br /><br />CaitlynAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7102067376746188002.post-26129923409115612882012-12-21T12:01:49.333-05:002012-12-21T12:01:49.333-05:001.

Love this foreshadowing!<br /><br />2. Lines:<br />If she slept, she always dreamed herself awake and on waking wondered if she still dreamed.<br /><br />Her bedclothes were grayed with ash. She pulled them back, coughing at the smoke that lingered throughout the palace and wondering for the hundredth time why she had not suffocated long ago. (Shudder!)<br /><br />Una turned on her stool to look behind her. There, more brilliant and beautiful than anything she could have imagined, a sunbeam shone through her window, cutting through ash and smoke, and fell in a pool on her floor.<br />She tripped over herself rushing to the light. She collapsed on her knees and lifted her face and hands, gazing at the whiteness that seemed to wash away all the filth.<br /><br />Far away a silver bell-like voice sang. She recognized that voice, the first she'd heard from outside since her imprisonment: the voice of a wood thrush. Clear as the sunlight, its song washed over her heart.<br /><br />If there was one thing Felix had learned in all his years as Prince of Parumvir, It was that being a prince brought no advantages whatsoever.<br /><br />"Without my father here, I am your superior."<br />"Yet your father's word is superior to your own, Your Highness, whether he is present or not." (poor Felix.)<br /><br />I hope you feel better soon. I'm glad you like my casting choice for the Dragon King. Have you seen his portrayal of the Nazi comendant in Schindler's List? So frightening! We've got the four main characters taken care of. Now all we need is a few more actors and a producer and director. Sounds like we're all set!<br /><br />God bless you and have a wonderful weekend.Meredithnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7102067376746188002.post-20565135018948727682012-12-21T11:44:36.417-05:002012-12-21T11:44:36.417-05:00Oh by the way, I think its wonderful that you and ...Oh by the way, I think its wonderful that you and your husband have chosen the name Una for a future daughter. :)Hannahnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7102067376746188002.post-85780881784106595332012-12-21T11:42:55.986-05:002012-12-21T11:42:55.986-05:00I hope you'll get over your cold, Anne!

Of course, its actually Aethelbald. <br /><br />2. "I serve only my father."<br /><br />And so for the first time, we meet this young dragon. He is very bad as we can see. I assume he killed the young Captain Janus...Sniff, sniff. I know, I know, I don't know the real Janus but I'm positive that the one who brought Felix the stool was the real one. And anyway all you have to say is young and Captain to get me interested. But alas, he is cruelly slain before he even got a personality. Sniff, sniff.<br />But what about this imposter?
