yes, they ride pretty much until exhaustion knocks fara off her horse, or 
until they get to the prepared rest stops.  and break-neck speed is 
different on the main highway than on a back-road, all muddy and potholes 
and weird turns adn overhanging branches.  and a middle age (?) 
grief-stricken woman who is more accustomed to gentle horses and mild rides 
doesn't have the same endurance as a man accustomed to long hard rides.

yet ingrey notices a misfit between the rainbow of kingship and the physical 
man, and fara is dazzled but not happy. . .   clearly wencel is not going to 
have everything his own way


ah, hte uses of a quick impulse - ingrey wonders if he can delay horseriver, 
and deliberately repeats what happened to him and ijada: knocks fara off her 
horse without fore-planning it before hand.  oops.  and when he is called to 
come back, he tries but can't fight the river. oh deary deary me, what a 
naughty river, not listening to the king. :)

when the two reach the river bank, fara is rubbing her head from 
strangeness, not a sick headache.  if it were me there, i'd be sick from 
fear, espec. if prone to migraines.  how is she standing up to all this? 
the lack of good accomodations and pampering is likely as un-accustomed as 
hte hard riding and the fear.

and then the dead man steps out of a tree.
ladies and gentlemen, the ride is over, we have reached the nightmare.  let 
the fun begin!
