a natural history of dragons ch 20 - THE END

Ch 20 pg 273
One of the boyars comes and tells them they've been invited to hang out at their fancy hunting lodge.  He brought horses like they were just gonna jump on and go.  But they've got stuff to pack and servants to bring along.  So they're gonna stay another night amd head out tomorrow.

Ch 21 pg 280
They go out and do some hunting.  They are attacked by a dragon.

Ch 22 pg 290
EVERYTHING happens in this chapter.   Narrator goes snooping around with her maid and finds a chemical factory that they're using to preserve dragon bones.  Their million dollar idea is to sell it as construction material.   They killed the guy that arranged for them to come Here cause he was interfering with the smugglers.  The bad guy has a knife and he's probably intending to kill narrator and maid.  But narrator's husband comes down the stairs and he gets the stabbing instead and maid smashes a jar.over bad guy's head.

Ch 23 pg 307
Jacob dies, they go to the ruins again to see what they are smuggling there.  They figure out they're not smuggling something in.  They find more rubies and they think the ruins are a ruby mine and by law those should be the tzar's rubies, so the bad guy is smuggling them out to be sold.  If they tell the tzar about this maybe he will care.  But then the bad guys show up.  Narrator thinks she sees a dragon flying overhead and her idea is to run away and the bad guys will shoot at her and the noise will draw in the dragon and maybe it will kill the bad guys and they can get away.  A dragon does come and the bad guys kill it but it kills some of them.

Ch 23 pg 321

Another dragon comes along and kills the rest of the bad guys.  They go home to England 🇬🇧  and narrator sells a ruby and sends the.money back to the Romanians she likes.  Also, old man tells her the next expedition is to Africa 🌍  and she can go if she wants.  

Lady Trent will return in the Tropic of serpents.
