        Dixon excitedly tells Lady Lepton that he saw her when he was a
boy and she visited Raby castle. She was a young girl herself at that
time. Although she is expected to make a joke about it, she responds in
a seductive manner that gives Dixon a thrill.

        The orchestra in the hall is composed of the best slave
musicians to be found.

vw#96: Phrygian Mode - A lot of traditional music, especially Scottish
and Irish is termed 'Modal'  because it does not follow the
conventional modern major or minor scales. There are seven modes, and
Phrygian is the one that starts with E.

        Dixon remembers watching her as she rode horses at Raby castle
and also happened to see her kissing a chambermaid. His great-uncle
thought she was a witch.  Somehow she had wound up marrying the
dissolute Lord Lepton.

        Earlier Lord Lepton went bankrupt in England and indentured
himself to an iron dealer.  He worked out of his indenture in five years
and then made a fortune, returned to England and married Lady Lepton.

vw#97: Chatelaine - The mistress of a castle.

        Lord Lepton wanders over to Mason and Dixon and is in the midst
of a conversation that he expects them to pick up on though they have no
idea what he is talking about.
