[360] She tried to stab you in the face!

This is a very good point. Honestly, I never considered that the White Lady did not realise that she had passed on. I always assumed that she was on some level aware that she had passed/did not belong anymore. That certainly puts a new spin on it.

To be fair to Annie, when someone is lunging at you with a sword, actually slashing at your face, you're not likely to have much opportunity to try talking to them.

Though Annie understands the Ghost Girl's situation better now, she might have done so too late. I doubt she'd be able to leave the school again in order to meet her; not with Mr. Eglamore likely keeping a closer eye on her to make certain she doesn't bring about any more diplomatic crises with the forest. (And Annie herself might have realized by now that all of her curiosity and meddling brought the school and the wood to the brink of war.)

(Come to think of it, ever since Annie's adventure in the wood, most of the stories haven't been the kind of explorations that she engaged in before she fell off the bridge, except for Chapter Twelve; many of them have been about the lives of other students - Zimmy and Gamma, Kat and Alistair, Red and Blue - with Annie standing on one side, watching, and occasionally affecting events, but treated as a secondary character in that particular chapter, and this chapter was mainly a flashback to her childhood in Good Hope. Is this a sign, perhaps, that Annie's explorations have been curtailed thanks to the consequences of her night in Gillitie, and that the stories have to come from other sources, therefore?)

I think that means that the cut never happened. Annie has never seen the cut on her face; she just felt the pain, and maybe saw blood flung by the sword. We as readers know better.

I can totally feel what annie is feeling right now...the sensation that you could have helped someone and didn't.... but over the years I've came to the (painfull) realization that not everyone wants to be helped, nor everyone can be saved (unless they want to be saved).

It is sad thing to understand...and maybe annie is on her way to find that out... jeez how much maturing is that girl going through???

I'm actually the one who point that out (my name is Julian, you see), but as someone else suggested...is funny enough that there's nature at the court at all, since it's like the opossite from Gillite, which is all nature...

UNLESS....the people on gillite have radios, or wi-fi internet connection :3

Yes, the chapter's called "A Ghost Story", and since we were already told the story of Martin, then this means that the chapter's probably coming to an end. I'm guessing that it'll end sometime next week, before Friday.
