Thank you. I really like this chapter, all three parts of it. Anxious Director Meryl in the presence of her King; "How might Meryl serve?", "Please" after second thought – it must have made Edmund suspicious. Note about a gap in Bankers’ Code – small thing, but really meaningful. I like that when Morgan is not around, Maeve turns from villain to normal human being. I’m somehow not surprised that your mental image of the city of Bankers is based on Italian town... Thank you for description. Peridan is sweet. I will gladly meet him again. And it’s true that he resembles „American Peridan” much. Director Linch – poor man, so out of his element. Not knowing what to do must be really difficult for him – more than for somebody else as he is completely unaccustomed to such a situation. And that sudden understanding of what „King” means – clearly the whole idea is beyond the world normaly surrounding him. No surprise that – as it caught him off guard – it bowled him over.
As to what you and Indil where talking about – you shouldn’t worry about making Pevensie children too idealistic monarchs. Unlike those of our world (?) they were really chosen by the God. So it is not your fault, but Lewis’. All that talking about barbarism, also about ways of treating Morgan – but what will Director Linch say when Calormen attacks North because of a woman? And one point more – it is easy to accuse others of barbarism when oneself lives in a safe world. I was wandering that maybe few sharp changes on Lone Islands wouldn’t be so out of line. Islanders are practical and realistic people. Given choice „adapt or die” they would adapt without making too many objections. Maybe they need a bit firm hand?
