"The Thin Line," Part I
\*\*\*\*\* If Lieutenant Chitterleigh noticed that I had spent a completely sleepless night, he was too polite to mention it. Very unusual behaviour for an officer toward a private, but then again, I had seen much unusual behaviour from officers...
"The Thin Line," Part R
\*\*\*\*\* I unburdened myself the next day to Sergeant Wing, who had managed to get me out of class for an hour. The sparrow listened to me in silence, slowly nodding. "Aye, lad, it's a rum 'do to find out wot yer got in th' Hall, but look...
"The Thin Line," Part MM
\*\*\*\*\* Standing amidst the results of an armed clash is rarely the kind of circumstance which inspires conversation. Or even somewhat rational thought. Meadow merely folded her arms and looked at me bemusedly as I checked over our recently...
"From Whom All Blessings Flow," Part F
\*\*\*\*\* (F/\* 7/20/2013) I leaned against the portal of the Old Chapel while the Marshal paced up and down the floor, examining the sliding marble tiles closely. At one point, with a significant grunt and some effort, he bent down and slid a...
"From Whom All Blessings Flow," Part D
\*\*\*\*\* (D/\* 7/18/2013) I didn't get a whole lot out of the book, beyond a jumble of architectural terms and a feeling that when King Irenaeus wanted something done, he didn't set up a commission to do it. His version of the Cathedral had...
"The Thin Line," Part NN
\*\*\*\*\* Each fur has their own individual way of preparing for an important operation. In the case of Aethelwulf, he was impassively sorting, counting, resorting and piling his lead ammunition. Meadow carefully checked her equipment. I...
"The Thin Line," Part FF
\*\*\*\*\* There was at least one more element in the neighbourhood that I wanted to tie down before going over the border, and that was the Silverbrush property that was between the monastery and the boundary-river. Judging from what I saw on...
"From Whom All Blessings Flow," Part B
\*\*\*\*\* (B/\* 7/16/2013) "Sergeant!! Where in the Netherhells is my lunch, and where in the Netherhells is Winterbough?!" Note the order of importance, there. Sergeant-Major Wing, to whom I had just reported in, gave a soft chirrup...
"The Thin Line," Part D
\*\*\*\*\* I heard the bells tolling from one of the nearby monasteries throughout the night, so it was with plenty of time that I was up and about and out of the billet by the time the sun rose. It looked to be a rather sunny and cloudless...
"The Thin Line," Part N
\*\*\*\*\* As it turned out, it did not make any difference. The Lieutenant had, evidently, already gone to bed, making it a very early night. On the table in the kitchen, propped up against the shove-copper board, was a simple note. "Private...
"The Thin Line," Part U
\*\*\*\*\* The last month of summer would be very busy in Albric Tor. The local farmers were starting to bring in their harvests of fruits and grains, and there were symbolic tithes to the Royal Family, something that I'm told has been a...
"The Thin Line," Part K
\*\*\*\*\* It was a long night, and an early morning, but I did get the bungalow looking like it would pass even the most exacting inspection. I didn't take offence when Chitterleigh took out a white cloth and began checking surfaces, even...
