Our Knight and Lady woke up feeling the effects of the physical activity the day before. Both were a little stiff, and to make matters worse, Sir Trevor was most disgruntled. The lamps he had so meticulously laid out the day before, were not working. They would not light at all. He would have to remove them and have them returned to the craftsman who had made them. He would rather seek out another lamp maker elsewhere.

Leaving the castle behind them our Knight and Lady rode to the marketplace to purchase sweetbreads and cakes from the bakery. They were a treat for Lord Gilbert, Sir Trevor's father. He had become frail and infirm after cracking a bone due to an accident. He was left unable to walk. There was no choice but for them to retire to a home designed specially for folk like themselves, with similar frailties. Here they would be cared for day and night. After spending time with them, our pair bid them farewell and returned to their castle.

Waiting for them they found Lady Rose and her children, so invited them to join them for supper. Lady Rose needed advice on hoe to deal with her rebellious daughter, the maiden Kirsten. Having just reached her teen years, she had become embroiled with entirely the wrong group of youths. Sir Trevor gently reminded her that she too, had done similar things at the same age, and she had turned out all right in the end. It was best to watch her closely without making her feel that she had turned bad, he advised. Much relieved Lady Rose returned to her home, thankful that she had a brother she could always count on.
