*wipes tears* That really hit the spot! *happy sigh* 
 What a difference a mood makes! This book was totally a mistorical (and contained a misplaced hymen, to boot!), but the stuff that made me cranky during my rereading of books 1 & 2 didn't bother me now. I was reading for comfort and it gave me the tears and warm fuzzies I wanted. Emotional satisfaction. 
 The only thing that made me go "Huh?" was Benedict's mention that he was expected to marry someday. Why? He was the second son in a family of four sons where the first son had already fathered a son. Why was he expected to marry? It made no sense to me but didn't bother me enough to irritate. (Today.)
