Oh, she'd know about it, just at one step closer: she's dressing up as a
14th century Fleming to go to a 14th-century-Flemish theme party. That she
(K. Larsdatter) is a 16th-century Dane, going to a 16th century fair, is
the part she wouldn't know -- or, more accurately, wouldn't give a first
thought about. Of *course* she's a 16th century Dane -- it *is* the 16th
century and she's from Denmark!

Evan, whose earlier persona has come up with any number of wild excuses
for where/how could have been assembled such an eclectic mix as Atlantia
has...
