Will Harry Have to Come Clean?

I seriously doubt that Murphy would consider herself a concubine. She may have acted as a soldier under Harry's command, but she'd never consider herself his dependent.. And if that was suggested, it would really piss her off. From her viewpoint I believe she'd prefer to be called a vassal, though she might bristle at that as well.

What she thinks about these things is not the most important consideration. It is about what people like Lea think and she was quite clear about Susan.
And we don't need a formal arrangement. There was never a formal arrangement between Harry and Toot for example, just short time deals.
The bottom line is that Murphy was not acting independently, she was Harry's responsibility.

Yes Murphy would get very prickly about being called a concubine.
She is acting as an equal with Harry in the rescue, it really is the Grave Peril dilemma all over again.

Time to formalize the relation then :)

You'd never convince her of that whether it is true or not, and actually you may have put your finger on what could lead to her ultimate downfall, even death.. Face it, she is hard headed and sees things her way and the last thing she wants is to be Harry's responsibility. That is what her reaction was all about at the end of the book, she can look after herself. That is why I said I thought she was being selfish, because if she does die, Harry will feel responsible for the rest of his life, he also knows he cannot stop her.
