Hi! I'm new to the list too, and I caught the same thing on a recent reread of the series. The Tecka in question is Paresh, and the book is _Teckla_. Page 31 of my paperback has the story, including the line: "Inform your master that the Duke of Arylle will see him" Which I'll just take as evidence that when you write a score of books over a couple of decades, you have a few contradictions, and not proof Tazendra is a transvestite . :) --Andrew >*check one, check one-two* Is this thing on? > >Anyway, hello everyone!
