A couple of minor disagreements:

Page 20
"his abundant gray hair looked berimed in the sun"

Jasper said it is an alternate spelling of "berhymed" but I say it is a
verbification of rime as in ice coating.  Shade is outside in the cold
and his beard appeared to covered with ice.

Page 22
"Parthenocissus Hall"

Parthenocissus is a grape vine, and as as such VN is either trying to
give an image as a place where wine is drunk, where rumors are exchanged
or an vine covered building...or all three?
