* {{PP|1|5|31}} "then we freshent the Luck"
This phrase for lovemaking conveys the idea of sex as a magical ritual (freshening the luck) but is also a sly bit of Cockney-style rhyming slang (fuck). {{By|SLK}}

The relationship between Lorna and Riddley, like so many things that Riddley takes for granted, is left somewhat unclear. {{By|SLK}} believes that she is not his regular lover, but is initiating him sexually for his coming-of-age day. But there is at least one reference to some longer history between the two, when Goodparley says "manys the time youve rung her bel" (120:18).

{{By|SLK}} further speculates that sexuality in ''RW'' may have drifted because of reduced fertility among women—increasing the association between heterosexual sex and Luck, and making homosexuality (or [[A_14_142_14|boying]]) more of a norm among males. One reason Goodparley can't figure out what [[A_14_124_32|fidelity]] means in the Eustace legend is that fidelity, sexual or otherwise, seems a non-starter for Riddley's people.
