The Unicorn

Three Hearts And Three Lions.

I am back home from the Gregson. It is getting late. I am not going to research this post, just write from memory. 

Alianora rides a unicorn. Holger does not understand her affinity with it. I think that readers are supposed to understand that virgins have an affinity with unicorns?

In Larry Niven's The Flight Of The Horse, a male character describes a female character who has not come on-stage yet as a "frigid bitch." When this young woman does come on-stage, she is a cheerful and sympathetic character - and has an affinity with a unicorn.

When Holger and Morgan le Fay embrace, Alianora approaches on her unicorn which throws her and bolts, never to return! The two women insult each other like fishwives and Holger must choose between them. He does not side with Chaos.

There. That is a short post before returning to late night other reading. There is always something to write about although it is never predictable what it is going to be.

Kaor, Paul!

Remembering that cat fight of Alianora and Morgan Le Fay (and Holger's masculine helplessness with angry women) always makes me laugh.

Ad astra! Sean
