When we get to talking about something, I tend to think of comment-answers and my own comments as post-equivalents, and then you’re left without a new topic.\u00a0 Sorry…you’re all so courteous and patient that I forget.\u00a0 And when I forget, for that matter.<\/p>\n
Where: Lyonya<\/p>\n
Who:\u00a0 King Kieri and Lady (now Sier, also) Tolmaric<\/p>\n
What’s happened:\u00a0 Lady Tolmaric has had the gumption to think of building an inn on the road that now runs north from the river, where scathefire was.\u00a0\u00a0 Kieri, headed for the river, finds it and talks to her and her relatives.<\/p>\n

“We don’t want<\/em> thieves and such,” one of the men said.<\/p>\n “Of course not, but you can’t have an inn and not have some of them. \u00a0Be firm and fair from the very first, and you’ll have less trouble.”\u00a0 [Kieri]\u00a0 fished in his belt pouch, and laid a gold coin on the table.\u00a0 “Even the king should pay his way: I will set the example.\u00a0 You have stated no price, but this would cover the room and board for me and my Squires and our horses overnight.\u00a0 Will that suit?”<\/p>\n “You mustn’t,” Lady Tolmaric said, going red and teary-eyed again.\u00a0 “You’ve done so much–”<\/p>\n “The inn must pay its way,” Kieri said.\u00a0 “Let it start now, with the king’s gold Tree.” \u00a0He smiled at them all.\u00a0 “I am pleased with all of you, for your initiative and your work; I want this inn to succeed.\u00a0 So I will pay, and you will allow it.”<\/p>\n ………………………………………………………<\/p>\n In locating this snippet, I found an error which I don’t remember the CE finding or noticing myself while going through copy edits.\u00a0 I’m going to hunt it down and email the appropriate person if\u00a0 it wasn’t caught.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" When we get to talking about something, I tend to think of comment-answers and my own comments as post-equivalents, and then you’re left without a new topic.\u00a0 Sorry…you’re all so courteous and patient that I forget.\u00a0 And when I forget, for that matter.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[115],"tags":[28],"class_list":["post-1683","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-snippet","tag-snippet"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.paksworld.com\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1683"}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.paksworld.com\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.paksworld.com\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.paksworld.com\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.paksworld.com\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=1683"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"http:\/\/www.paksworld.com\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1683\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1684,"href":"http:\/\/www.paksworld.com\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1683\/revisions\/1684"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.paksworld.com\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=1683"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.paksworld.com\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=1683"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.paksworld.com\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=1683"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
