Lady Linitha was not so fortunate: The folk of the town believed the first bit of the story, but they were generally less willing to believe she had been a non-participant in this secret affection. Such suspicions came to a head when a young man -- that secret lover of hers, nervous that all this might come back to him -- told the local authorities that the woman had, in private conversations, confessed to sharing passions with the heirloom.
