It's fairyland thought Richard. View quote

She had forgotten them all; forgotten Richard down in the mud, and the marquis and his foolish crossbow, and the world. She was delighted and transported, in a perfect place, the world she lived for.

And who was who, and which was which, only time would reveal; time and the dance. View quote
