A young balif’s assistant is deeply in love with a hunter’s daughter. The hunter though is against their marriage because in order for them to keep their land, they must provide forster services to the Duke as they have done for generations. The balif trades his quill for his dead father’s gun who was also a forester, but his mother, from beyond the grave, reminds him of his oath to her never to use the gun (why? We don’t know).
This was a good episode, despite a couple of little holes. A great blend of drama and ghost story. Enjoyable and tru togothic fiction.
