Hi Rick,

I think I would like "your chaperone" better than "the chaperone." It seems a case of whether the king is being chaperoned or the skeletal figure is definitively a chaperone independent of proximity to the king—sort of a definite article versus indefinite article type issue? Just my sense of it since I am no grammar expert. I get the feeling you might be avoiding another use of "your" but it seems best to me.
