This week's password is: reverie
Epub version of the chapter is also linked down below!
Maisie is really settling in for the long haul now. She's found her voice and found her place and I don't think I could dislodge her from this path even if I threw my entire metatextual weight at her. Then again, I don't want to! I hope you're enjoying all this as much as I am, dear readers, because I am having a blast letting Maisie go wild all over the page.
Anyway! Behind the scenes it looks like this arc is still on track to be a long one, though I can't yet say exactly how long. 20 chapters? More? It all depends on how our girl swerves, and I don't seem to be able to predict that; she has surprised me yet again in this chapter, so!
Back onto Maisie's wild ride we go!

Weeeeeeell, Praem is kinda like her niece? Perhaps she's just being polite about it? Or maybe Praem isn't quite her type in other ways.

She wreathes it in poetic language and doesn't often directly point it out. Whereas Maisie is fully aware of the intent which lay behind all that building-worship and very willing to say what it means!
