In this chapter, Dickon makes arrangements with Callie, Samarra, and Nell to help him get close to the Princess and acquire mistletoe berries on the big day. After that, he has a secret meeting with Evelyn and step Uncle Aldred in the local tavern, where they involve him in a conspiracy of their own. It is time to have a good night's sleep and face the music - but not before having one last good romp with big sister on the tavern's second floor.
