had directed; they agreed that they had, and that they were well
pleased to
welcome him among them. His Majesty
then called for the works of the armorer’s art produced by Zanetto be
brought
forth for all to see. This being done,
His Majesty desired to see Zanetto da Como in person.

had requested earlier that day. They
agreed that she was worthy to join their Order. Her
Ladyship, Katerina Affodil, was summoned into the Royal
Presence, and asked whether she would accept this accolade. She agreed, but indicated that she was not
yet free to do so; first, she had to be released from her fealty to
Mistress
Amaryllis Coleman. Accordingly, she
returned the belt symbolizing their relationship to the good Mistress,
who
indicated her plans to make a gift of it to Katerina, so that she may
in turn
present it to a student. After hearing
the wise counsel of Mistress Ts’vee’a bas Tseepora Levi, His
Excellency, Sir
Alonzio of the Peacemakers, Her Excellency, Mistress Genevieve du Vent
Argent,
and Her Excellency, Mistress Aoibheil of Dun Holen, His Majesty agreed
with
them and the Order, and created Katerina Affodil a Mistress of the
Order of the
Pelican. Scroll illuminated by Lady
Gianna di Aurelio and to be calligraphed by Lady Alessandra d’Avignon.
The
Court of His Majesty was closed.
