Bravo!

The Nunc Dimittus had Broadway timing!

Wonderful!

Thank you.

Thank you, that's very obliging of you. wemyss September 22 2011, 18:39:06 UTC

And of course Godney and Malford are secular men, after all.

Interesting decade, the 1150s.

SQUEEEE!!! germankitty September 22 2011, 19:09:07 UTC

My inner history buff is transported with delight, especially as this period of English history has been a favorite of mine since I first saw Richard Burton in "Becket" these 40 or so years ago. Love it, well done!

I chose the icon only because of the linguistic theme; it's by no means meant as a reflection on the story!

Bar one necessary anachronism... wemyss September 22 2011, 19:18:23 UTC

... I trust it suits.

Thanks.

Oh it does, and very well at that. :) (Don't worry, it's been ages since I last did some serious immersion into the period; any kind of not-too-blatant anachronism would have to bite me so I'd notice. Out of curiosity, what was it?)

coin the term 'the Anarchy' for the period.

I do love your writing, which carries the weight of Old England quite handily. And your characters fit their times quite nicely; the places appropriate, and the swearing what good Christian knights of the age might certainly have done.

BTW, Although a bit more period, this reminds me happily of the Ellis Peters series I gobbled when younger -- which of course is the only reason I've ever heard of Stephen and Maude (or Maud? sp. both ways in this).

I'm greatly obliged. wemyss September 23 2011, 13:43:32 UTC

Not least for yr bringing that tiresome misprint, now corrected, to my attention.

And this was posted on my birthday! How I missed it, I don't understand, but I do apologize. I've just finished rereading When Christ and His Saints Slept, so the timing couldn't be more appropriate.

A belated 'Happy Birthday', then. wemyss January 23 2012, 17:32:39 UTC

And perhaps it was meant to be thus, in light of the timing.
