Our little French-village story?  I guess that means I've made something
that the list picked up.  I originally made this simply as a translation
exercise for Nowicki's Ygyde, though he never tried his hand at it, as I
recall.  But in writing "The Miller's Sons", I didn't continue it.  Anyone
want to try writing the rest?
