Action
My husband used to put ribbons about their necks. They loathed it, and ruined them before he could even finish it, but mostly they're docile enough most days. You might even be small enough to ride one.
[They were her darlings, really and truly. They were Gabriel's love that slept on the other side of her bed comfortably.]
Very fitting education then. But not one I can help complete. But some of it I can continue. You will continue to read, I have some books that you will enjoy -- ones to do with battle and strategy. The mathematics, I will hopefully find a tutor that can teach you both.
[But as for the fighting skills she listed...] When this is done, tomorrow you may go to the stables and pick out a horse as yours, you will ride him in the morning for an hour. The brown gelding rounder is mine, that I ride often enough, but of the other three you may take one. I'd advise not the black stallion. He is for battle. [ Because she needed one she knew. ] There is an archery yard, and ample enough space in the courtyard to practice your other skills. I'll find a swords-master for you as soon as I am able. How does that sound? You'll ride, learn and practice fighting.
[ Stability. It was what was needed, something to do day in day out. At least that was what Elizabeth found best for her.]
