Donna Brown
Donna Brown asked Lois McMaster Bujold:

Is there a short story or something between the Orphans of Raspay and the Physicians of Vilnoc? There are references in the text of Vilnoc that make me feel like I'm missing something and I went back and re-read from Penric's Mission forward.

Lois McMaster Bujold
No, but nearly a year went by for Pen and company between the two novellas, during which the characters' lives did not stand still. Thus the references.

Ta, L.
