Heh, if you liked Elvmere in this scene, you should have a look at the
re-write Matty did for chapter Forty-Nine.  I helped him with that, by giving
him a couple ideas.

|
| Well, none of those events happened in 'Last Tale of Yajakali'.  Plus,
| given that this is the start of a new book, I felt it prudent to remind
| the readers of all that's transpired to this point.
|
My word, the Magyars actually felt that a town gave them adequate payment for
their entertainment services?  I'm shocked!

I'm more worried about the revenant that may or may not be following them.
