"Another one it is," Mark said, shouting again for the barmaid.
He watched hte girl to see if she was anything near drunk.
"I like ale well enough but wine serves better for getting drunk. Have you never tried strongwine? It has a kick to it like a crossbow."

"Nothing at all. I'd be sorely tempted to take advantage of you, truly, indeed, only a wish not to cause you offence would stop me. But I'd rather have you willing than otherwise."

!"Dirty how?" He asked. "Would you rather have a man who wanted you when you are in your right mind than blind drunk?"

He paused and saluted them with his tankard.
"Would you mock me even if you were in my bed, Lyelle"?
