Back to the plot!

I've finally got to the end of plot point seven! Raoul has successfully encountered the d'Artois expedition (and we meet d'Artois himself; I like him already) and we are Back On Track for the first time in eleven whole months, after a truly massive deviation around my self-created plot hole.

I'm not sure I'm likely to write any faster as a result, but at least I now have the satisfaction of being able to tick off my progress against the original list of summary points again. ( gloom )

Anyway, it's DONE.
