Flight of the Heron read-along: Part II chapters 1-2

Charlie is my darling, the Young Chevalier...

Flight of the Heron (under the title The Jacobite Trilogy) is doing very well in Yuletide sign-ups—3 requests and 4 offers at present :D

Next week we'll read the second half of Part II, chapters 3 and 4.

The definition of 'scrub' I found from the 18th century was 'a low mean fellow, employed in all sorts of dirty work,' which doesn't really fit! But yeah, 'spy' interpreted that way instead of as an enemy agent does work better.
