“On the way across they played ‘Magic of Wine,‘ after which they all respectfully disembarked …”
…all respect to the magic of 🍷… and meanwhile the grieving sisters …😭
“Their sleeves were never, never dry.”

saresmoore That is just how I pictured them punting across the river. 😀 This chapter was kind of a snooze fest for me, but I‘m getting a head start on tomorrow‘s chapter cuz it‘s a long one! 6y
Lindy @saresmoore Good idea about getting a head start. #Genji47 is 42 pages in the Tyler edition. 6y
batsy The part of me that loves Gothic tropes a little too much always tries to visualise the crumbling villas and whatnot that these rural-dwelling nobility live in. Also, I'm probably getting my chapters confused, but that bit about a messenger having to traverse "bandit country" to deliver messages from Niou to the princesses was really fun—I wish there was more on that than just a line ? 6y
Lindy @batsy Some adventures with bandits or pirates would be a nice change from parents fretting over good marriage matches for their daughters. 👍 6y
