*Favorite isn't a subtitute for competent. In fact, several of those nannies are tragically lacking nanny skills. In fact, being a nanny isn't a prerequisite for the role, you just need to have achieved the title

Sure my favorite character was fatally wounded but as long as I don't read the words he won't die and you can't convince me otherwise
*postpone reading the ending for the next 20 years*
#the fionavar tapestry#i've invested myself too much in these books#my previous favorite character in the series died#don't do this to me again#and look i'm sure plenty of people are going to die since it's war#but not this one please ?#not because nobody would do the brave thing and they did#cathy and the abbey
