To all and sundry,

Thanks to CTaH's taking notice of the absence of Aunt M from the
index, and my subsequent discovery that the Duchess de Fyler is also
missing, I'd like to press the point a little forward. I had earlier
almost allowed myself to think of the possibility that Sybil could
have been the one that Maud pressed on the young John Shade. The idea
is re-surfacing. The Duchess de Fyler is missing from the index, but
her daughter, Fleur, Countess de Fyler is not. Similarly Sybil is
giving grudging acknowledgement there.

Without digging up the text I do recall some rather complex familial
relationships on the Canadian side of the Irondell family tree. Could
Maud be there too?
