In a really good story, people change, and Lady Jess is looking like the first prime candidate. Eh, I agree with Longwing, with the rude awakening thing.

I hope she gets eaten by a troll. Man, Lady Jessica started out as an entertaining character, but she’s sort of a bitch now, I think.

Even as she teaches Jack to comport himself, she'll learn that there are vast stretches of countryside where the ability to comport yourself is as useful as a pipe with no tobacco. The language of the Old Ways is infectious. I liked this chapter a lot better. Yes, we're still dealing with the foreshadowing, but our narrator actually out-and-out apologizes for getting sidetracked, which really endeared me to our anonymous storyteller.

Am I the only one who dislikes Lady Jessica? I like our Jack just fine, thank you *very* much. Also! Isn't it coarse, not course? I'm asking rather than correcting, because it may be an Americanism, like spelling Americanism with a z. Gah. Am I the only one who dislikes Lady Jessica?

I know, I know, not English, more gentry/squirearchy than nobility, and she no doubt means quite well by the man, and certainly no harm. Still: bloody English noblesse oblige. :) Moe Bloody English noblesse oblige.
