Hi Chris,

I'm enjoying reading the second half of this tale, the one with 
Edmund and Stealth making another venture into the Haunted Woods.  I 
think that if Stealth is starting to take notice to Edmund's 
obsession, than others will have as well.  Further, if the spirits 
seem to be even more stirred up than usual, Duke Thomas may order 
Edmund to stop going into the woods.

May He bless you and keep you in His grace and love,

Charles Matthias
