Well going after a paramour with a pair of scissors and shearing her like a 
ewe does have style. What  impressed me was that strange reported incident 
during the moonlight trek.  After traveling all night they stopped at house 
of religion to rest.  Juana flew into a rage when she discovered that it was 
a nunnery and would not let any of the nuns near the coffin.  That seems to 
me well out there and beyond even by what I understand to be the standards 
of the day.
