Excessive Mourning | |
| Men of the Moss Hags / int_10f28611 | comment |
Excessive Mourning: Will's mother becomes very selfish in grieving his father. She doesn't care for her children's loss, or that Maisie has lost her brothers, but acts as if she's the only one bereaved. | |

Time Skip: Two. From Will and Maisie's childhood circa the late 1660s to 1679, and the page or so that Will spends on his first sojourn in the Dutch United Provinces, which seems brief but based on events must cover 1680-84. | |

More Despicable Minion: Claverhouse commands the King's dragoons hunting the Covenanters, but is relatively honourable and merciful; many junior officers, notably Westerhall, are far more vicious. | |

One-Steve Limit: Hilariously averted when Westerhall demands the name of a peasant boy who talks back to him. He's told it's James Johnstone, which is also his own name. Frustrated, he asks who the boy's father is: James Johnstone. One of his own troopers starts laughing and a furious Westerhall demands to know which one it was: guess the soldier's name! There are two ministers called Peter local to Earlstoun. Then there's Kate McGhie and the witch Corp-Licht Kate. | |
