Chapter Three (The Peddler)

I actually tried to just read this chapter and not take notes - I read, I read a lot, and I needed something to just read - but I couldn't do it.  My hand kept reaching for my pen.  Details, especially in this chapter, kept jumping out at me.  I mean, c'mon, Padan Fain, how could I miss a chance to get in my character details from the first time Rand sees him this Spring?  Yeah, I didn't even past the first page of the chapter; I won't try to do that again.  Heck, yesterday afternoon I was getting my hair done and I was sitting with my notebook in my lap, scribbling my half legible notes into it.  Couldn't waste sitting around for 35 minutes reading a magazine instead.
