Finally, the Lymond Chronicles, Book 4

After months of meandering and dawdling in the literature canyon, this afternoon I finally emerged holding in my hand triumphantly a finished read of 'The Disorderly Knight'; this book being Dorothy Dunnett's third book of a six-book series nicknamed the Lymond Chronicles.

Déjà le ciel aux Indes rougissoit
Et l'aulbe encor' de ses tresses tant blondes
Faisant gresler mille perlettes rondes
De ses trésors les prez enrichissoit

There it is. Onward to book four of the series, 'Pawn in Frankincense'.
