These are really delicately written. I like them all, especially the first one. I like Leof, the elusive servant. ...fits in anywhere, flits out again unseen, and a master spy in the making perhaps? The idea of the starry mantle being passed down by/to women who lived happier lives than the first one who bore it, is lovely. A bequest becomes what one makes of it. Thanks for sharing :)
