> > So I can’t really do justice to the mental image I just had, of a rapturously happy Cristabel Oct, in a cottage, with Mercymorn, and also a flock of geese.

> > Because this is a woman who looked at Mercymorn and said “I want that one! On purpose!” so what other farm animals could she have?

> #no you know what you’re right#mercymorn is totally a goose #beloved by animals and small children I bet even geese would love Cris#mercy calls the geese horrid little beasts and Cris starts doing it too only she calls them horrid little beasts (affectionate)

> An important fact I know about Canada Geese is that they are monogomous, and each pair sings a song together, but if one of the pair dies, the surviving goose will sing the whole song by itself.

> #mercy gets menaced by a goose that won’t let her out of her garden and Cris picks her up and carries her like a swooning maiden#cris is laughing; mercy is not

> Cris clearly picks up Mercy and calls her a horrid little beast exactly like Gideon picks up Harrow and calls her a midnight hagette.
