WeWriWa 3/15/15

Welcome back to the weekend everyone!  Spring is officially spring-ing.  The first of my crocuses (croci?) are up.  The yellow ones, lifting their petals to the warmth of the air, and announcing that the robins will be returning soon.  Don't know about you, but the sunshine, blue skies, and warmer temps are helping me a lot.
 
The consensus last week seemed to be that continuing was the best option.  While I would have loved to give you the end of that scene, it was only four sentences, so instead we'll head right into the next scene, which is also the start of Chapter 24.  Same crisis, different perspective.

          “What is it?  What is doing this to them?  How can you not know?”  The queen demanded angrily.  There was not a woman in Frandia who had as much power as she but there was no order, no command she could give that would fix this problem.  
          “I beg your majesty’s patience.  I am doing my best to determine the cause of the illness.” The physician replied calmly.


I wouldn't want to be in his shoes at this moment.  That is one high-pressure situation, treating a princess of the realm and the daughter of another powerful family as well and not knowing what you're treating.

This weekend is the opening of the new Cinderella movie, and I will be taking my daughter to see it.  That means I'll likely be late on most, if not all, of my WeWriWa visits, but I will get them done. :)

Oh there is no telling the Queen you don't know what's wrong - he's in so much trouble.

Even though he's not my favorite character, I have to say he is doing all he can at this point. It's not easy tracing a poison using the limited knowledge base he has. Still, you're right, he's in a bad spot.

When faced with death power turns into an illusion.

Right now, everyone's powerless until they figure out what's wrong and how to fix it. Not a fun situation to be in!

I agree the doctor is caught in a difficult situation but I really feel for the Queen too. Excellent excerpt! I hope you and your daughter enjoy the movie. I went Friday and loved it.

Thank you, Veronica. We met up with my sister and her daughter who's about the same age as mine. It was a lovely afternoon. :)

Powerful people don't often react well to being helpless. . .

I'm already thinking poison. Should I be thinking poison?

You're good, Sarah. You're REALLY good. It is indeed poison.
