"The father sent his pretty baby out to be fostered by a lady people called Abro. She taught her proper courtesy and with some others, embroidery: how maidens ought to sew"(132). "Then with his daughter he fell in love and gazed upon her, thinking of taking her as his bride!"(137)
Was Sir Artyus preparing his daughter for marriage when he got her lessons in courtesy and sewing? Why would he think his daughter was ready for marriage much less to marry him?
