This is a terrific chapter. From the dusty road, to the soldiers bathing in the pond, it’s wonderful.

I read that there are something like 500 characters in W&P and I just love the two plum stealing girls. They exist for only a few paragraphs but I remember them vividly.

I’m feeling a bit optimistic about Prince Andre after reading today’s chapter. He seems to be mix of things, some old bad habits intertwined with new and promising behaviors. He’s growing and able to see some things from a fresh perspective. When he encounters the girls there appears in him an empathetic impulse that would make his sister proud:

“A new sensation of comfort and relief came over him when, seeing these girls, he realized the existence of other human interests entirely aloof from his own and just as legitimate as those that occupied him.”
