So either way this wouldn't have changed the success of the steal or anything, but it did confuse me.
This history reference for Ophelia got a three:
But it worked; one of the dogs just ran off through an orchard I hadn’t seen before. It was the queerest sort of orchard, the apples were thorned but the dog ignored them and accidentally got pricked. Debatable, though. That thing was dead deaf to any cry. I distinctly remember thinking ‘it’s not like its lover at all’ just before I woke up.
History Ref: Ophelia ran off from the ‘puddle’ of Solira without avenging her father’s death, ignoring Datura (the thornapple) completely. This is the opposite of Shakespeare’s Ophelia’s lover, Hamlet, who killed his father’s murderer. Datura was dangerous or thorny because of the shard, Ophelia was later pricked by the shard via Betrayal, though the accidental nature of the attack is debatable because Ophelia provoked Betrayal and was willing. ‘Deaf to any cry’ refers to Ophelia’s statements in a post to Stelios in Anadarin that Pirate’s followers had begged her to take over his place at the head of the revolt, but she walked away from their pleas when she left Solira.
What would have made this ref a four? The other parts of the judgment made sense and I know what I need to work on, but even the judge said the ref was solid. Just not 4 solid. So what is 4 solid?
