Author’s
Note

The story of
Amberley and Rosalind – and, of course, Broody the parrot - can be
found in
The Parfit Knight
.

As a point of
interest regarding Rock’s Christian name … are two possible
derivations of the male form of Tracy. One is from Norman French,
meaning ‘of the domaine of Thracius’; the other is Irish-Gaelic,
meaning ‘warlike’.

The female form
of the name did not become popular until 1940 with the advent of
Tracy Samantha Lord in
The Philadelphia Story
.

Coming next
…

A Splendid Defiance
– a tale of love and conflict in the
English Civil War.
