Google can find it.  I'm not sure it's quite what you want.

It is said that =The Minstrels Sing of an English King= is the dirtiest song in the English language.  I can't actually judge that, not being well-studied in that area.  But nearly the cleanest line in the thing is "G*d d*mn the dirty old b*st*rd king of England!"

Anyway, the description of the monarch's ... nether anatomy ... would no doubt inspire Kajo.

I don't think I'd call it wisdom, especially if it means you must never thrust a spear into the monster's belly.

You'll always have a reader who'll turn Twin Peaks into the literal translation of Grand Tetons.  How much do you let that churl spoil things for everyone else?

So it's YOUR fault?  I should have known!

Say, whatever happened to Ghen's glowing green privates?  https://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=p … 108o#t=339

(Edit: That one's for you K.  Rewind to the very beginning.)

She read the same chapter you did, or nearly.  You read all the same parts.

Ten years is a bit of a stretch.  Less than five seems improbable to the story; ditto more than eight.  And besides, she and M were childhood friends.  She was what, five years younger?  That will make M rather old to be unmarried, no?  And to undertake his various physical adventures?  (I mean with the steel, not in bed!)

Now, Amy, appropos the pulsating spells on the shaft of Erevain's staff ...

The scene is a schoolroom, a small school from years ago.  It reads best with a Scots burr.

Teacher: Mistress Mary, will you stand up please.

[Mary stands]

Teacher: Now Mary, can you tell me: What part of the human body, when properly stimulated, grows to nine times its normal size?

[Mary blushes]

Teacher: Mary, what part of the human body, when properly stimulated, grows to nine times its normal size?

[Mary looks down at her shoes]

Teacher: Mary, quit your stalling, stand up straight, and answer my question.  What part of the human body, when properly stimulated, grows to nine times its normal size?

[Mary bites her lip and tries to stand straight.]

Teacher: Very well, Mary, you may sit down.  Master Johnny, will you stand up please.

[Johnny stands]

Teacher: Now Master Johnny, let us see if you can answer my question.  What part of the human body, when properly stimulated, grows to nine times its normal size?

Johnny: The pupil of the human eye, when properly stimulated, grows to nine times its normal size.

Teacher:  Very good, Master Johnny.  You may sit down.

Teacher: Mary, I've three things to say to you.  First, you've not done your homework, that much is for certain.  Second, Mary, you've a dirty, dirty mind.  And third ... Mary, I fear you are in for a grave disappointment!

Then maybe merge 19 with 20, especially if the music swells and climaxes there?  https://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=p … bzuk#t=723

I can't speak to merging it with the next chapter until I see that next chapter, but I think you should leave open the possibility of taking the previous chapter through this double-thread climax and reworking all the chapter breaks.

I just incorporated people's comments for Ch6: Erevain.  If anyone really wants it, I'll repub for points.

I've had things on my mind that have made it hard to work on new material.  I hope that's clearing now.

One more piece of mystery ...
