Well, he hasn't been let in on _all_ the details, now has he? :)

Mm. Makes Lewko wonder about Ingrey a little. I think his not telling Hetwar
really is out of character - that's why I rather liked Hetwar (while he was
off-stage) in the first place. Well, one of the reasons.

Hallana - the one and only. I think herself liked Hallana even better than
Ista (and Ista was plenty god-touched - the Mother, the dratsaB, the
Father...) :)

Ijada's trial is touched on - there will be five judges, which makes this a

The number of judges does make Ingrey hopeful - at least there is some
chance of fairness; the fewer judges, the easier to bribe / sway in the same
direction...

And we find that even if Ijada survives the murder charge, she might well be

Oh yes. But I think Ingrey is not so very safe anymore either. I like the
description that is coming, in Ingrey's inner eye, about what the situation
may be if Ijada _was_ hanged...

I wonder if C. might be called as a witness of the crime?  he may not be in

I think he will be a witness - but on the other hand, nobody could count on
him unitl he did show up...

I think he turned odd _after_ his father died, _before_ his mother died.
(his, in both cases, being Wencel). Just my impression.

 The dilemma opens his mouth, and he finally tells Lewko about W's spirit

I did get the impression that it was Cumril who told Lewko about Wencel...
not Ingrey. I _may_ have been wrong.

Lewko is -not- happy about more complications, especially not if it involves

Mm. But I don't think it would have helped him, somehow... All things
considered.
