'Zackly. (Fortunately, civilisation still lurks in fiction; I was staying with m'friend la_marquise_de_ in Cambridge this weekend - whose novel Living With Ghosts might interest you, by the way - and in her bookshelves, next to her copy of Swordspoint, was a photocopy of a Riverside story I hadn't read. Yay...)
'Course I read it! I love Riverside, me. Not that story, tho'. To my shame, I can't remember the title; it was published in F&SF (I think?), and featured a girl who wanted Richard to teach her to fight...
Wow. That's ancient: "The Swordsman whose Name was not Death." One of my faves. It & 2 others were reprinted at the back of the 2004 U.S. edition of SWORDSPOINT, so I keep thinking everyone's read them by now. So glad to know you were still able to find it!
