The Word- Darby and Joan

What ever Yorvet's plan entailed, it definitely wasn't involving a Darby and Joan happily ever after sort of story. If anything the caravan was definitely lacking in women. Not that Kolt would want to get involved with any women that Yorvet knew. It would only be another means for Yorvet to use against him. To get him to train as an Assassin. Eating out of his hand. Ha. Yah right. He may be stuck in this caravan, but he wasn't going to do anything to help Yorvet along. At all.

Darby and Joan -a happily married usually elderly couple.

Added Info -"Old Darby, with Joan by his side, /You've often regarded with wonder: / He's dropsical, she is sore-eyed, /Yet they're never happy asunder." thus ran the lines of a 1735 poem. By the mid-1700s, the elderly couple of the poem had become symbolic of devoted couples. According to some sources, the verse's author was an amateur poet named Henry Woodfall and its inspiration was a real-life couple: a printer named John Darby (who was Woodfall's employer) and his wife, Joan. A more modern version of the two later appeared in a song titled simply "Darby and Joan," a collaboration of Frederic Weatherly and James Molloy.
