  Summary

  "I reached for instinct, certain that it would be there, and it wasn't. Do you understand?"

  It starts like this:

  A sudden burst of pent up frustration, false confidence, and sheer desperation—a bold attempt to be bold and attempt—and a violent course correction, involving a startled horse.

  It continues like this:

  Two Elizabethans, scuffed and muddied, trudging across a courtyard at Elsinore. One of them is limping.
