But you know I know when it's a dream

I don't think Urq knows what he's gotten in either. Right now he's just grazing in the garden of Eden (Eden being power) and gggah. You really made the whole childlessness angle a completely plausible root of the couple's canker. I'd say Elizabeth *would* punish him in some way, because her agony would insist on it...and look at how she controls who he sleeps with and what he does...it's as though even though she loves him, she still blames him for the destruction of something she wanted out of life, and so for the rest of his life, he'll be paying the piper by dancing to her tune...but that's ok, he's got Stamper to dance to his...
