Manuscrit trouvé à Saragosse is on the cover.

"Saragossa! Oh!"

"Okay, What's this?" He asks

"The Manuscript from Saragossa..." A pause. "It is not truly from Saragossa, but it is written as such... oh, and in French!"

"Thank goodness for that Dragon..."

"Ha, as if you didn't have ways around a language" A wink "But this way you can truly appreciate it"

"As it was meant to be." She has a look - as if she is pondering if she can eat and read at the same time...

"Oh, you're as a quiver between poles as a ball bearing between a magnet's prongs" light tease , much fondness. "Here...if any thing spills on it, I'll hopscotch it off there"

"A surfeit of goodness."

"Quickly, while Bronte's asleep" And he sets her plate and serves and dotes so she can eat, and read

And, doted upon, Zara does!

And, of course, Earl WILL have his soup, and thus, will be invincible from any plague for days!

It is a wonderfully lucky day
