Thank you! So great to have more to read.

I just have one kind of major problem, and one minor one:

1) Hugh has a bastard son? "'And you, brother dear, will have your bastard son at court for that time. I desire to see what he is like.' With that she stalked from the room." I can't find the page in this forum's story where this is mentioned.

2) Bear with us, Froggy. This is a long story that was told over a long time. Some of us don't remember much specific about Adele, so anything you can exposit for us during this new tale will be much appreciated.

Thanks again, and all the best to you in your new dealings with these characters who must be crowding your mind with their lives and desires. :)
