Author's Notes: Character photos for Lord Bale's household can be found here. Thanks to poisontaster for opening up this sandbox, to devilc for introducing me to it, and to fleurlb for some choice casting suggestions.

Additional Note: This chapter was originally posted on November 11, 2009, but the ending was modified on November 16 because it felt too abrupt to me. The new ending does not change the substance of the story, nor does it affect any of the events in subsequent chapters.
