Many thanks Lampar for continuing what I always considered a very good tale. I hope you find time to write more chapters. Cannot wait to see what the dress to be worn is like. I have just finished re-reading all of the original chapters. I had forgotten about the 'snuff' and had wondered what was meant by it in the other comment. Having re-read the tale, I guess that the next episode for Katherine might be the visit to the gallery with Richard. Richard might insist on her being blindfolded in some manner so she is unable to see the items in the gallery, simply becoming 'arm-candy' for his pleasure.
