Have to be at work an hour earlier so I was anxious about being efficient this morning and I did it! 2000+ words (rounded down again) before seven in the morning (I'm not thinking about it much but I believe they are mostly keepers).
Accomplished: sort-of introduced the Duke's family and Yanek's relationship to them. He's more of a cinderella than I thought he would be. I'm particularly happy about the Duchess. I am not sure I got the village celebrations on the right note. I don't want to be romanticizing peasant life, nor writing "The Lower Depths." I just want to get Yanek's attachments and behavior properly expressed.
On another front, I'm trying to figure out how to get the house ultimately sealed from rats. Or do I have to ultimately move? Because I can feel their presence when I walk in the door: the air is thicker inside, and my skin prickles, more in the places where the rats travel. And I can hear them in the walls. Since the young man can't st traps either I have to wait for help (which is coming today), but I think the long range issue is that they will come back if I don't figure out a way to keep them out permanently. Which I thought I had already done.
