Apparently, those offended felt that I was suggesting that Lady Elisabeth had rented out a sub-standard home and was somehow to blame for the fire.

	Only the idiotic or willful misunderstanding could think this.

	There was nothing in your post to invite such a supposition unless,
again, willful misunderstanding takes place.

 For those in Northkeep and the region who know the parties involved, it
is well-known that the house rented to Beorhtlic and
> Elizabetta was Elisabeth's home and the one in which her daughter, Olivia, grew up.  The house and many of its belongings had many fond memories for Elisabeth and Olivia, and they feel the loss acutely.  Moreover, Elisabeth is my household sister and as such, I would never do anything to hurt her, Olivia or their reputations.

	Truly you did not.  This tragic occurrence requires our sympathy and
assistance, not unkind speculation.  I am sure no one of character could
disagree.
