Who upset Geraden by saying, "He came back alive. Without her. Geraden would never have done such a thing."
The "her" is Terisa.

You are correct, Avatar! Adept Havelock says this to Barsonage in Geraden's presence, and Geraden is most upset to hear it!

I've always thought it was a line very uncharacteristic of Havelock, because it sounds so...coherent. :P


Your question! :ct03: :7up: :banana:

Well, maybe, but the implications aren't...if it isn't Geraden, then who is it? (If you know what I mean.)

Anyway...hmmm...

What changed Terisa's perception of Reverend Thatcher?

Hmm, maybe actually, but I was looking more for what were they speaking about...

Didn't the reverend show a shrewd side when he promised Terisa he'd make sure the profits from selling her apartment would (still) go to the mission?

I seem to recall Reverend Thatcher giving Terisa Morgan information about his late wife, and explaining why it was important for him to serve the poor directly by resigning his position at a prestigious church.

Okay, then:

Master Barsonage eventually comes to distrust Master Eremis, thanks to a warning from Artagel. What does Barsonage deceptively tell Eremis that the Congery is spending all its time studying?

CORRECT, Avatar! In truth, the Congery was working on a variety of experiments, but Barsonage wanted Eremis to think they were working on that one hopeless task (hopeless when the oxidate in the curved mirror's matrix was unknown)...
Very good, and your question! :)

Joyse had granted an audience to Prince Kragen a second time, and this time Kragen had Terisa and Geraden with him. King Joyse had just learned from T & G that Queen Madin was abducted by men who appeared to be Alends. The King went to challenge Kragen about that, then Artagel knocked the Prince out. Right after that, the King disappeared from the audience hall.

You mean the cloud-being Havelock translated for Joyce to carry him?

No, something happened in the main hall, and when the confusion cleared, Joyse was gone...
