One of them is so wise...
“One of them is so innocent she’ll likely fall into the hands of the first man who reaches out for her, and one of them is so wise she’ll likely be the one to do the plucking.”

I was thinking of Bruni, but more importantly making the quote future-proof. We don't know yet what's in Hetty's belly after all. 
Oaah! Bruni. I forgot that little. (I'm poor with these blended families. I know couples, but I can't remember, where are their kids. Baby&Egelric was still easy, but nowadays - Theobald's? Leila's? Ashdowns?) And new children to Alred! Oh. Jaa-a.
Poor Leila's family is crazy. She has her kids with Leof, her kids with Godefroy, Godefroy's son from his first wife, Leofric's kids with his first wife before Leila and his first wife after Leila, Leof's daughter with Matilda... etc.
Well, hopefully there won't be an etc. 
Let's hope Leof keeps his bits where they belong from here on.
Isn't he gonna be out of town for a while? I doubt he'll keep them to himself. Even on a pilgrimage.
I don't know... Leof is wounded and devastated and desperately in love. He might not feel like engaging in that sort of thing at the moment.
Even if he did, I don't count the bastards he might leave along the way among his crazy family.

ChaptersAs he carried her outside, he thought that she felt lighter than she had that day when he had held her, all warm and pink-cheeked and laughing, in his arms. He would try to remember to ask Father Brandt how much a soul weighed.
"Alred's eldest daughters". Does he have some youngest too? :>
