Fair enough.  I personally like Alys; I like her strength, and her 
organisational skills, and her subverting her "proper role".  And I identify 
with her a bit too, because I am also bossy, though she is much better at it 
than I am.  But that's just me.

Thank you for the explication.  That's a lovely greeting/parting.

Until the sky falls on our heads...
