igenlode: The pirate sloop 'Horizon' from "Treasures of the Indies" (Default)
Unbelievably, after my problems with Lancard and Lagarde and sister ClĂ©mence, I've now discovered that, having bestowed the name Bajet upon the senior servant at the château de Chagny, I'd already used it for the name of a sailor at the end of plot point four. Since it's well over a year since I wrote that scene (and the line in question was actually an edited interpolation), I can't imagine where my subconscious dragged the name up from.

Rather than try to come up with another random sailor's name, it probably makes more sense to re-use one of the future survivors for this bit-part role (very, very 'bit' -- he just gets yelled at to fetch the surgeon). Of course, at the time when this chapter was written none of them actually existed yet... I've gone for Boudon ('the other big one'), who is the least well characterised and generally gets the least to do.
