What writing principle is relevant in a novel with Allison Gross?
Allison Gross Allison Gross, a hideous witch, tries to bribe the narrator to be her "leman". She combed his hair, first. When a scarlet mantle, a silk shirt with pearls, and a golden cup all fail, she blows on a horn three times, making an oath to make him regret it; then she strikes him with a silver wand, turning him into a wyrm (dragon) bound to a tree. His sister Maisry came to him to comb his hair. One day the Seelie Court came by, and a queen stroked him three times, turning him back into his proper form.
