Excerpt from The Chatelaine

Mia, - commands me to fetch 'her a chatelaine - not one of those housewives' devices 1m Iing with scissors, needles, keys, ut one made up of countless chains, of countless lengths, some of them mere links of a chain, and all to have depending from them anhangsels, ikons, crosses, crescents, - symbols all, charms all. Such her command. Surely it were a simpler thing to build for la Donna mia, a shrine, or, for her carve a prie-dr'ea - but it is a chat'elai'ne she would have a chatelaine, hung with signs and symbols, christian and heathen: these to be gathered from all lands and amongfithem she will find one some - the which to hold between her hands' palms. Her hands' palms l - that sounds like prayer. Such her will z - I obeyz - and pray la Donna mia to be.
