"MY apologies, "MIsabel I have forgotten the question"

So had she

And I quote "Wow Does she happen to be aware of that little bylaw?" Thanks, Viviane!

"I believe I asked if Gwen is guilty of this indiscretion, is she aware of the consequences of her actions?"

"What saddensto risk this As is Lancelot"

"Doesn&039;t see to put Gwen in that kind of danger"

"I believe they cannot help how they feel I a it more and more with every moment I am in your co &039;The heart wants what it wants&039; I can no more direct the wants of Gwen&039;s heart as I can explain how I ed to re for you"

Isabel wasn&039;t just flattered, she was on fire Or, at least, her hormones were But even as she knew the path she&039;d chosen, she had to play devil&039;s advocate Because adultery went against her fast-and-loose moral code "Arthur, is it possible that this is a retaliation of sorts? Are you playing tit for tat? To hurt her as she&039;s hurt you?"

"I know not of the tit-for-tat thing, but I understand retaliation Should that have been the case, I would have chosen to take up with any nu afore now &039;Tis not in my nature to even events this way"

Isabel knew this She didn&039;t kno, but she did Arthur wouldn&039;t jump into the sheets, or in this case bed furs, with another just to get back at his cheating wife He could even have gone further, were he a vengeful jerk He could have exposed Gwen at any uilty and killed Instead, he continued to protect her, no matter how much it hurt him, day in and out

"You still love her very much," Isabel said softly

"That I do But not as afore Not in the same way &039;Tis not easy to look at your wife, play the dutiful and loving husband, when you know that she yearns for another"

Isabel suddenly realized that she was totally sober, even after the delicious cognac Her earlier overindulgence was gone, her ment return to practical reality And yet she still wanted that one kiss, and she wasn&039;t drunkenly falling in teiven

She was falling, hard, but with a co of what this all meant Well, shit She had to fall back in time centuries to find the one? Fate wasn&039;t necessarily cruel, but it had a really warped sense of hu as divorce in Camelot?"

"Divorce?"

"Dissolution ofand his queen?"

"Sure! I es to be annulled So that the partners are free to remarry"

"Without cause? Does not one partner have to ad?"
