Estrill corrected me upon an important detail:

Well, crumb. Thank you for the correction.

Those Maublans always were hard to pin down, anyway. <fond memories of 
antics>
I do know that my earliest records record the house-name in a member's own 
hand as "(mumble)" instead of Maubla.

(For those not present, a brief explanation: associates of Maubla usually 
passed a hand across their mouth just at the moment of speaking the 
house-name. It did, indeed, *sound* like "( mumble)"...)

A very young man I only remember having seen once, but whose joy I know is 
sadly missed.

At some future distance of time and emotion, I plan on creating an 
appropriate bard-piece as a memorial for these and the other "northern" 
losses of recent note.  Not now. Not enough time has passed, and too much. 
For now, I will wait.

And strive all the more to remember.
