Date: Fri, 25 Apr 1997 06:22:11 -0700 (PDT) Subj: [Jeanne] Turn 76 Jeanne helps with the excavation of the metal, when such is needed, but it is clear her interest lies in one direction only. At every opportunity she asks Robbie, with his smithy experience, "When will you make me a sword?" **** Jeanne takes the opportunity offered by Louis learning to write with his left hand to ask a favor of him. "I cannot help you to relearn such things, but perhaps you could help me? I have never learned my letters, and would dearly love to be able to read, even if I never master writing." She looks at him hopefully. **** On the subject of jails and punishment, Jeanne is pessimistic. "Is nothing permanent in this world? If we kill her, she will be resurrected. Hopefully further away than Shaka was. But if we banish her, there is nothing to say she will go!" After a moment's thought, she says, "I am reluctant to adopt a cruel system such as some lords of my time did... but for stealing, the punishment was loss of a hand." **** Jeanne tries to avoid the Celts as much as possible, and the strangle painted woman. She is curious about the Asian lady, thinking she looks like the wise men her band met early on. But she does not approach her. Jeanne spends much time in the chapel, praying. Anyone who encounters her there will be greeted politely, and invited to join her. Plan: If anyone seems curious or interested in what she is doing, even a Celt, she will immediately launch into an evangelical recruitment speech.
