"Mistress of Death"
There are two drafts of this story.
The final paragraphs of the first draft appear to be a synopsis of the
stories conclusion.
The second draft stops abruptly as John and Agnes are about to run off
to the house of Francoise de Bretagny. In SWORD WOMAN, the final
paragraphs from the first draft were used to provide some closure.
