- And quickly they were wed.*

- Ambitious Mistress Madwen!
- A country inn they bought.
- They'd make their fortune with it,
- And would not yield for aught.
-
- Exhausted Mistress Madwen;
- She'd rise up at first light,
- And polish all the silver
- Until the fall of night.

- Bereaved Widow Madwen.
- To a gentlelad from Andor
- She spilled out all her sorrow
- With unaccustomed candor.

- Set out, her life to fix.
- She hastened back to Lugard
- Where we'll see her in BOOK SIX!
-
- *I considered other possible rhymes at this point, but decided that
- discretion was indicated.
