Word Usage Key is at the end. The brackets after a character e.g. CLAIRE (4 nc) indicates Claire is a character who is 4 years old and a character not encountered before. Ages of incomers are in Earth years at this point and of Folk in Castle years. (4 Folk yrs ≈ 5 Earth yrs. l is lunes, t is tenners.) There is a list of chapters and their significant characters at the bottom too.

1st of Chent Day 4

Pansy had started her adult life by leaving school at sixteen and becoming a cadet nurse. As soon as she was old enough, she started her nurse training as a registered sick children’s nurse. After four years she qualified, and not long afterwards began her midwifery course. She worked as a midwife for three years before becoming a district nurse. She married a good-looking business man when she was a district nurse, but eventually she realised he was all bravado. When she became aware he was proposing to use her salary to fund his increasingly outrageous schemes to become rich quickly, which only he couldn’t see had no chance whatsoever of working, she walked out on him.

As part of her strategy to come to terms with the breakdown of her marriage, she had loved her husband despite his stupidity, she took a degree in nursing. All the other students were at least ten years younger than she, but despite that she came out with the top first class honours degree. She had no idea what to do with herself, yet she didn’t want to go back to general nursing, midwifery or district nursing. She saw an advertisement in a medical journal which wanted a major shareholder in a new medical centre. It proposed to have doctors, midwives, nurses, dentists, hygienists, pharmacists, chiropodists and any other branch of care that was required or could be required.

It specifically stated a shareholder did not have to be a medically qualified person, as administrators would also be required, but shareholders had to work in the practice. Sleeping partners were not wanted, and if a shareholder wanted to leave they would have to sell their shares back to the remaining shareholders. She had accumulated considerable savings over the years, which her husband hadn’t been aware of, and thought the venture was at least worth investigating. One telephone call and two hours of meetings later, she had become a major share holder and the senior administrator.

She had also become interested in Tristan, the doctor whose vision had started the whole scheme. They had become lovers after a few weeks, and they married shortly afterwards. The medical centre had been a success. Highly thought of by their clients, it had a long waiting list of people wanting to be on their books. All partners, all employees were shareholders and therefore partners, were making a lot of money from what had initially been, to some at least, a risky proposition. Pansy loved her husband, but they were unable to have children, and both of them put their energy into the practice as a substitute. They had come to terms with life, and they were happy with it. They bought a large house for the even larger garden, and they spent their leisure time in the garden growing both flowers and vegetables. Neither were particularly good at gardening, but it didn’t matter because it made them happy.

All that came to an end at the age of forty when she realised she was on Castle. Frightened, heartbraeken(1) at the loss of Tristan yet still astute, she realised she needed to find a niche that would satisfy her personally and give her a living. She met Pim Master healer on her second day on Castle. Somehow he had something in his manner that reminded her of Tristan. She found out Pim was a widower, and she proceeded with the matter of seduction. She succeeded within two days, and she and Pim had agreement.

She considered her life and how she had assisted Tristan in the practice, and she decided to approach the matter of her new husband in a similar fashion. She thus decided to not only join the healers but to cross craft as a grower and specialise in growing the herbs that the herbals had the greatest need for in order to assist Pim to the best of her ability. Pim had grown up children, and grandchildren and he was twelve years older than she. She had always wished children, and, despite her joy in her grandchildren, she was not prepared to give up any available opportunity. Pim was agreeable to adopt two children from the incomers, and they adopted a pair of eight year old girls Belinda and Verity on Quarterday afternoon. Pansy was also hoping to become pregnant, which she considered was not impossible.

1st of Chent Day 4

Stuart had been reasonably clever at school, where he was regarded by his peers as a pathetic nonentity who did nothing but study. He had read politics and economics at one of the newer universities, after which he had become a civil servant working in local government: one of the suits.(2) He had never had any interests at school, or any where else, that had involved other people, who had tended to avoid him any way, and by the time he arrived on Castle he was a socially inept thirty-six year old who had still been living with his mother. A virgin, he had never even had had a casual relationship, never mind been married.

He accepted the reality of Castle, but he couldn’t think of anything he was able to do for a craft. It was not that he was unwilling, but he had no background on which he could draw to help him. His extensive knowledge of and skill at computer war games was no more useful than his not terribly accomplished playing of an electric guitar or his encyclopaedic knowledge of planning law. He had no manual skills, had never grown anything, and he’d never kept an animal. He had been very concerned he would be unable to fit in at all on Castle. That he would not find a replacement for his mother he knew, and he was too young to be adopted as a grandfather. That, as he understood it, meant he had to accept the terrifying idea of marriage.

He had no idea how to find a wife, and he’d spent a mortifying half hour at the Master at arms interview trying to explain his past and his fears concerning his future. Campion had been consulted after his interview, and she’d decided, after looking through a few files, to have spaech(3) with Phlox concerning him. Phlox had married when she was twenty-four, and she’d lost her babe when seven lunes pregnant. Her marriage to Edgers had not survived the loss of her babe. She had taken a long time to come to terms with the loss of her babe, and despite a number of appearances she had not managed to find a man since.

Phlox was intelligent, respected and had a lot of friends. She knew there were folk who said she was on the dock,(4) but they were the sort of folk she had avoided all her life, so she wasn’t bothered. She certainly wasn’t prepared to accept any just because they offered agreement. She wished children badly, and she’d been thinking of approaching a far cousin or one of the Masters of leisure to father a child. Life had treated her ill, but she had maekt(5) the best of it, and she was now a thirty-two year old woman who had been plain even before the fevers had scarred her face. Phlox was a member of a kine breeding clan, and she kept the breed records on the herds and decided which bulls were breeding stock and which were meat. She was good at her craft, and she had considerable status as a result of having, in a handful of years, improven(6) the herd quality and consequently the clan’s fortunes.

Campion had spaken(7) to Phlox concerning Stuart, and Phlox had said she did not wish an introduction at the dinner dance but merely to have him pointed out to her. After dinner she saw Stuart sitting on his own watching the dancers with an expression on his face she couldn’t even begin to interpret. Stuart was of medium highth,(8) lightly built and had a thin face, dark hair and blue eyes. Despite the rather vacant and uncomprehending look on his face as he watched the dancers she liekt(9) the look of him, and given the information she had received from Campion she decided a somewhat unconventional approach was required.

She went to for a large brandy and a peach juice, both in large brandy glasses and taekt(10) them over to Stuart. She sat down and pushed the brandy over to him, and sipping the identical looking peach juice said, “If you’re not dancing you might at least be drinking.” They sat sipping their drink and chatting of Castle, his life before and hers, and what opportunities Castle offered Stuart in terms of crafting, though they didn’t manage to go very far with that. As he drank more of the brandy Stuart became more open concerning his desire to marry and have a family, but at no point was the idea of marriage between them even mentioned.

After another glass, again both glasses provided by Phlox, Stuart was much more relaxed, and Phlox managed to cajole him onto the floor and to dance. He later maekt no objection to going back to her chambers, and he spent the night in her bed where to their mutual delight he laid to rest his fears concerning becoming a man. At braekfast(11) nextday,( 12) Phlox had telt(13) him they needed a larger suite of chambers for the children they were adopting and the ones they had decided she was going to have herself. The matter of agreement and children had never been raised, but she implied it had, and as Phlox had known he would, Stuart assumed he’d had too much to drink to be able to remember the conversation, and he had after all been distracted by other matters. Since it was what he wished he was happy to agree with Phlox.

Phlox also suggested, as he had no idea of what to do for a craft, he should join her clan as a kine crafter and specialise within the craft later, cross craft, or even choose another craft at some time in the future. She had suggested as a first step he should learn to ride and drive a team of horses which would provide him with skills he could use in a variety of crafts should he so wish. He had agreed, and they’d had spaech(14) with clan members happy to provide him with instruction as part of his first placement as a herdsman. They had adopted Goth aegt(15) four and Marilyn aegt seven on Quarterday afternoon, and Stuart was surprised at how easy and rewarding it was to be a family man.

1st of Chent Day 4

Crystal was fifteen, and she hadn’t yet left school. She hated school, but she was too frightened to stop going, and any way it would all be over soon. She had a reasonable family life, but she was not close to either of her parents or her siblings. She was hoping to find a job in a local retail outlet when she left school, but she couldn’t think of anything she wanted to do. The only thing she had ever enjoyed doing was helping her dad to make beer. She didn’t like beer, but she had fun making it, and it had made her feel close to her dad whilst they did it. She as good looking and liked boys, but they only wanted sex. She knew she was reasonably attractive, and she enjoyed sex, but she resented that the boys only wanted the sex and they didn’t consider it to be part of a larger picture. They didn’t wish a relationship just the sex, which whilst enjoyable was not enough for her.

At her interview with Joseph she explained how she’d enjoyed making beer with her dad. Joseph had telt her he needed beer makers, but in the near future he would require wine makers. He explained it was a similar procedure, and his brewers would revert to making beer when the wine had been maekt for this year. She explained she knew nothing of making wine, but she found the idea exciting, and she asked when she could start. Joseph had telt her, “Your remuneration as an apprentice brewer crafting for me starts as of this moment, but settle yourself tightly(16) first, especially concerning your personal placement. Don’t worry regards your crafting for a tenner at least. I don’t wish unsettelt(17) crafters.” She smiled and expressed gratitude to him, and he sensing a young woman with a sense of humour said, “I’ll recover the debt later, Crystal.” They both laught. She left the Master at arms office feeling she had a better job than she would have managed at any retail outlet, and her boss was a decent man.

She met Godwit at the dinner dance and he telt her he was an eighteen year old apprentice pastry cook. It had been a while since she’d sex, and she decided she quite liekt the idea of going to bed with Godwit. He was tall, reasonably good-looking, and he turned out to be an energetic and inventive lover. Quite unlike all the boys she had ever met before he was interested in her, and not just in having sex with her. He asked her to marry him after explaining he had wished a wife and a family for a while, but he’d not met any till her he felt comfortable with. She did a lot of crying during their conversations. Godwit was not experienced enough to realise why she was crying. He knew next to nothing of the archives and even less of Earth. That Crystal had gone to his chamber, and she was prepared to make love with him he had assumed to mean she was seeking agreement too and she believed he was. She even cried when they were making love, but she wouldn’t let him stop, and through her tears said, “I’m crying because I’m so happy to be here with you.”

1st of Chent Day 4

Estelle was a brown eyed, olive skinned, deep bosomed, wide hipped, very tall, and good-looking fourteen year old of Mediterranean heritage, considerable social sophistication and moderate intelligence. Her movements had been closely controlled by her family, who were negotiating a marriage with the twenty-four year old son of a business competitor, which would be advantageous for the couple and for both families. She accepted the close supervision, but they couldn’t finalise the wedding arrangements soon enough for her because she wanted everything ready for a wedding on her sixteenth birthday. Her body had urges which she knew only the attentions of a man in her bed and the subsequent children could satisfy, and a year and a half was long enough to wait.

Her family had been in the cloth business, and she’d apprenticed to Aspen Master dyer at her interview. She thought Castle was a much better place to be than Earth because here she could marry right now as opposed to having to wait till she was sixteen. She wasn’t interested in a man any where near her own age. She wished a man, not a boy embarking on manhood. Most of her women relatives were married to men at least ten years older than they. She met, seduced and married Slimlyspoon, a twenty-six year old tracker who was paired with Arder, in the space of a few hours, a speed that would have astonished even her mother, who if the rumours were true had beguiled her father into marriage in less than ten days. A feat which had subsequently given her the reputation of a woman of certain appetites and her father the envy of his entire acquaintance.

Estelle was fascinated by her husband’s name, and questioned him as to its background. “It is a very old and traditional name,” he explained, “and there are many men thus naemt.(18) It is not a particularly popular name for women, but I know of at least half a dozen women with the name. I have no idea as to whence it originates, but I know, or I bethink me I do, that it refers to an astute person who can achieve what they wish in small but progressive steps: spoonfuls. Slim is an old word, not uest(19) much now, that means astute bordering on crafty. A long time over, at the time of the Fell Year, the name was Slimlyspoonful, but over the centuries it has loes(20) the last bit, though some, mostly women, use the old form.” Despite the vague explanation, Estelle rather like the description of her husband, who she realised had been as seductive of herself as she had been of him. As a married woman, she was proud that she had managed to find herself a husband who was as interested in her as she was in him and who was as interested in her becoming a mother as she was.

1st of Chent Day 4

After giving the matter some thought Gareth concluded the craft Masters and Willow were probably right concerning the advisability of promoting a match between Lyre and George. He explained the situation to Campion who was the office’s most astute reader of folk, and after she had thought the matter over for a minute or two she said, “Yes, I see what you mean, and I agree, but it won’t be easy because Lyre will have to press the issue, and she is not a woman to whom that would be natural. George would never do it because he sees himself as too old for her. He will be afeart(21) of being ridicuelt.(22) It’s hard to understand I know, but whence he comes their age difference would be considert(23) perverse, and he being the elder the perverse one. If Lyre really does have a tendre for him she has an uphill struggle on her hands and will have to make matters exceedingly plain to him. I shall have spaech with her to discover what her feelings are, and if they’re as you suspect, and they probably are, I shall advise her on the tactics she will need to employ. I knoewn(24) Karak, and I can see why she would be taken with George. Karak was much older than she too, and like George he had a quietly competent manner. Leave the matter with me, Gareth.” Gareth was pleased to do so.

Two hours later, Campion found Lyre at her workshop spinning wool so finely it could only be for babe clothes. Campion telt Lyre bluntly, “Lyre, I need to know what your feelings are for George. I really don’t wish to meddle in your personal affairs, but many of the Council and the craft Masters consider George to be so important to the Folk we must have him settelt(25) with a wife to look after his domestic affairs, so he can concentrate on his work of providing the means to increase our food supply, which will save lifes(26) when the times are hard, and of passing his knowledge on. I have been given to believe you are not indifferent to him, if it is so your desire I am here to help you to reach agreement him, because I have been chargt(27) with the task of finding him a wife.”

Lyre put down her spindle and said, “I am far from indifferent to him, but I had no idea he was so important.” She flusht(28) a little as she carried on sadly, “I have only met him twice, briefly with the craft Masters and then at the dance, and I’ve not managt(29) to make him notice me as a woman. I have been thinking of little else than him since.”

Campion pleased by Lyre’s response continued, “We are going to have to make him notice you then aren’t we? Has Peregrine maekt the first spinning wheel yet?”

“Yes,” said Lyre, “I’m sure he’s had no sleep since I givn(30) him the drawings, and he delivert(31) it earlier, but it is difficult to use. I’m probably not using it properly.”

“Excellent. So that’s why you need a visit from George. Let me explain how he considers things and of the place whence he comes, because you’ll have to give up any dreams you may have of being woon.(32) You are going to have to bully him a bit to reach agreement with him.”

“That doesn’t sound kind,” protested Lyre.

“It isn’t, but if you don’t he won’t marry you, and I’ll have to find some other whom he will marry. Is that what you wish?”

“No. I wish him to marry me.”

“Then this is what you have to do.” There then followed a distinctly tactical conversation, which culminated with, “You have to convince him you wish him and his children, Lyre. You know it’s true, and you have convincet(33) me it’s true, but he has to accept it’s true and that his age is a riandet(34) to you, and more importantly to any other on Castle either. If you can’t convince him you’ve loes him. If I were you, I’d ask him to see you in the eve, it’s easier for a woman to do some serious convincing at that time of day.”

The two women laught, and Lyre said, “I know I only met him twice, and he’s not really like Karak you know, but I knoewn as soon as I seeën(35) him. So don’t go giving him away will you.”

The last wasn’t phrased as a question, and Campion left knowing the matter would be satisfactorily resolved since it was clear Lyre was now prepared to use a woman’s full resources in pursuit of her goals. Lyre maekt her preparations. She loosed the laces of her apron bib to reveal far more than she’d ever done before, let her hair down and wore her most beguiling perfume. In an aggressively seductive frame of mind she was prepared for George hunting and she had no intention of allowing him out of her chambers till the following forenoon.

Early in the eve, as requested, George called to explain the principles of operating the spinning wheel. He suggested some improvements for Peregrine to implement, and he asked Lyre if she were going to the dance in the Greathall. That was the point at which Lyre changed the topic of the conversation. She was a determined woman, and she really did wish to marry George, whom she had fallen in love with when she first met him. She also knew Campion had been serious regarding finding George another wife if she couldn’t reach agreement with him. She finally managed to convince George of her seriousth(36) whilst she was sitting on his knee. He had repeated many times the difference in their ages, but with Lyre sitting on his lap, her head on his shoulder and her bosom in his face, with her scent overwhelming his brain he had been unable to gainsay his interest in her. That Karak had only been four years younger than George had been her best, but not terribly effective, argument till she sat on his lap. After that George’s arguments went badly downhill in their effectivth(37) for some reason. Lyre telt him having won her argument she wasn’t letting him out of her sight to have to argue it all over again another time, and she taekt him to her bed.

1st of Chent Day 4

Douglas was waiting beside the big brandy stills for Lunelight wondering what the healers could do to aid her to conceive. The idea of having a family wasn’t one he had been considering for long, but the longer he was on Castle the more fulfilling the idea became. He had been considering what fatherhood would bring for a quarter of an hour or so when Lunelight arrived full of apologies for keeping him waiting because of recalcitrant records. She explained, “Some cases of best quality fiveteen(38) year old brandy seem to have goen(39) missing. That is of course if they existet(40) in the first place.”

They walked over to the healers and asked to see Iris. Lunelight explained why they were there and Iris said, “It is true you may become pregnant with Douglas, but there are no guarantees. It is possible, and I stress possible not certain, if you nurse a babe it will aid you to conceive. It is most probable to occur, if at all, after the child is weant,(41) for you are less belike(42) to conceive whilst nursing. We’ve herbs that will bring your milk in, and we can arrange for other nursing mothers to feed the babe till you are able to do so.” Iris explained how Lunelight would need to nurse the babe, just before the nursing mother taekt over so as to assist her milk to come in, and she added, “You would of course then have a babe whether you carryt(43) one under your heart subsequently or no.”

Lunelight on hearing this put her hand on Douglas’ arm and looked at him questioningly. Douglas correctly surmised Lunelight wished to do what Iris had suggested, and he agreed with Iris, even if Lunelight didn’t conceive they would have a family which he now wished as much as she. He kissed Lunelight and said, “The decision is yours, Love, you will be feeding the child, but I should be happy for you to do so.”

“When may I see the babe, and is it a girl or a boy?” Lunelight asked.

“Damson, as we’ve naemt him, is a lovely little boy of may hap nine lunes, and I shall send for him now,” Iris replied. She asked a junior healer to bring Damson and started to discuss the practicalities of the herbs and exactly how he would be fed where and by whom.

Damson arrived with Uäste, one of the nursing mothers, who explained, “He needs to be nurst.”(44)

“Best you make a start now Lunelight,” Iris suggested, “put him to your breast, and when he starts to scream from frustration pass him back to Uäste.”

Lunelight, never having nursed a child before, was a little unsure in her movements, but Uäste said with a reassuring smile, “Don’t worry, Lunelight, he knows where your breasts are and what to do with them.” It was seen that was indeed so, and Damson applied himself vigorously, but after a minute or so he started to fuss and then to cry. Uäste taekt him back off Lunelight and soon settled him. After he had been fed and winded he became sleepy, and the remaining practicalities were then organised. Lunelight decided it would make life a lot easier for all if she returned with Damson during the day for him to be nursed, and that was agreed. Uäste agreed to come to their chambers in the eve. “I’ll go and fetch the herb extract for you Lunelight,” Uäste telt her.

1st of Chent Day 4

Somewhat later, after her response to the appearance of the ex-trio, Lilac had been briefly introduced to the children as another mum. The older ones had thought it excellent and somehow more balanced and right now they had two mums to match their two dads. The children enabled her to feel she had taken yet one more step on the road Joe had laid down for her. There wasn’t much time for her to play with the children, which she regretted, and even less to have spaech with Mum as they had to rehearse for the eve entertainment. The rehearsal taekt so much of their concentration they didn’t even have time to have much spaech with each other. Then they had a light eve meal and were off to the Greathall.
