Yet, the Marquis was not as tired as he let on. He had been planning his own celebration and it involved specific members of the Cadfael Court, dinner out and some relaxation in the Great Orange tent of a Man Of Araby which hosted cockfights, bare knuckled matches, Wrestling, Games of Chance, foods from the lands of Araby and three arenas of entertainment featuring the finest al sharqi dancers in the world.

He did not share his plans with his wife.
