As I said once before, taking one of the 'natives' as a playmate for his

But we don't know the circumstances of him adopting her. If he'd found her abandoned - the Sarrans seem savage enough for the practice of ridding themselves of superfluous baby girls - then taking her in would have been a charitable deed.

Good point, Marian-- but I'd like to say that while that could be the situation, but the girl's the same age as Dayna, and if he was that tender-hearted and they did expose their superfluous girls, why didn't Dayna have *lots* of little adopted sisters?
