"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.
