Summary
Trotting down the road to the castle came the scholar and her steed. The scholar was called Maribel. The steed, a gelded mule of patient temper and indeterminate brown, was unimaginatively and inaccurately called Jenny.
The castle in question was extremely famous. The whole former Royal family and all of their Court and servants were in there, or so it was said, fast asleep due to a fairy curse on the Princess.
That wasn't the bit Maribel was interested in.
What interested her - in fact what her latest research grant was for - was the briar hedge...

What if the witch was rather less evil and rather more inclined to solve problems by giving herself Much Bigger Problems? What if the princess needed rescuing from her family, not her tower?

Summary
Rick snorts. “They’re not that bad.”
Wordlessly, Evy looks back over at Jonathan and Ardeth.
“If you think about it, I'm doing them a favour. Jewellery never looks quite right on dead people,” Jonathan is saying, flicking his wrist in comic disdain. A drop of whisky lurches forcefully from his glass and lands on Ardeth’s thigh, and Jonathan leans forward to pat it dry with his jacket sleeve. “Terribly sorry, old boy. I get a bit animated after a finger or two of the good stuff.”
Ardeth’s eyes are very, very wide indeed.
“Jesus, you’re right,” says Rick.
After 20 years of being subjected to more yearning than any sister should ever have to witness, Evy decides that enough's enough.
