Morgase's danger is greater, because Elayne is already wary and knows she must be alert to signs of trouble at all times. She is also the most sensible of the "Accepted Trio". Morgase does not possess her daughter's reserve, and has welcomed into her life a man who intends to (view spoiler)
Interesting answer. I myself felt that Elayne was in more immediate danger, but I see your point about long term danger to Morgase and how loosing her daughter would also be a blow to her, not just emotionally, but also politically.

1) In this section, we see Mat putting on a tough demeanor and then shelling out coins to those who need it. Do you think such behavior will perpetuate his good luck, in a karmic sense, or will he be taken advantage of?
2) Loial is writing a journal of sorts of his adventures. What do you think he is focusing on?
3) At Easing the Badger Inn, Perrin is treated to some bawdy songs, making him blush furiously. Have you ever found yourself in such a situation unexpectedly?
4) Illian has issues. Darkfriends, Darkhounds, Grey Men, and a Forsaken. Do you think all that badass evil is there for Perrin or Moiraine, or is there something else about Illian that brings them?
5) Mat makes it to Caemlyn and proceeds to play delivery boy for Elayne's letter to her mum. As luck would have it, he overhears a plot to take Elayne's head. Whose danger is greater: Morgase's or Elayne's?
6) Egwene, Elayne, and Nynaeve make it safely to shore and nestle down with a Wise Woman called Mother Guenna. What do you think of Nynaeve's caution and Egwene's snippy behavior?
