Sorry this one's so late. It's been a pretty busy weekend. I'll put up Page17 later today, too (it's 12:30 am right now, so I have a few hours to make that statement true...).

As has been guessed, the stock model who poses for Madame Zirena is perditax31 [link] , although all of the images I am using were sent to me via email instead of being posted on her account. If I can convince her, she'll put a few of them up so you can see what I was working with--she did a fantastic job.

Here we see our turnip farmer (NOT Luther, though he looks similar) expressing his gratitude to Madame Zirena for her words of counsel regarding the turnip harvest. As Yggi11 pointed out in an earlier comment, maybe it will turn out to be a "Fair Harvest" this year... However, while our fortune-teller accepts this gift from her customer, it and the two rather insignificant coins on her table (Page15) are paltry payment compared to what she could get if she were working in the city. So, the question remains: Why isn't she working inside the city? And that question will be answered in the next few pages...

One thing about Zirena's wagon: Yes, it may appear a little large on the inside, but Zirena uses smoke and drapes and such to make it appear larger than it really is. I think we'll see a better, un-obscured view of its interior later on.

And before anyone comments, yes, I know I forgot the jewelry on her forehead. I forgot it on Page17 as well, and I will either have to say she removed it after the fortune-telling was done, or I'll have to go and add it back in. (May 21, 2007: I digitally added the jewelry on this and the next page.)

Enjoy!
