He'd already checked the range before the Steadholder ever entered the gym, and there were no other entrances to it, so he didn't try to intercept her at the range door.
But she's also a naval officer, and a steadholder in the old sense—the kind who used to lead his personal troops from the front rank—so there are always going to be risks we can't protect her from, however hard we try.
You're going to be with the Steadholder probably for decades, and you need to figure out the sorts of things she isn't going to tell you.

 - Chapter 1
White Haven himself was deeply respected by the Grayson Navy and people, for he was the officer who'd overseen the conquest of their fratricidal sister world of Masada and won the Third Battle of Grayson to open the war with Haven, but he remained a "foreigner." Honor Harrington didn't.
In Graysons grim, early days, it had also been the steadholder's harsh duty to determine which of his steaders had to die if that was what was required to balance population against the maximum strain his steading could bear, and Honor was unspeakably grateful that decisions like that were no longer necessary.
Steadholder Harrington, on the other hand, freshly returned to her own steading, was senior to anyone short of Protector Benjamin himself, and the instinctive grace with which she'd split the difference between her two personae impressed the earl.

And the leader of what had emerged as the equivalent of the loyal opposition, at that, which meant even Mayhew had to be very careful when dealing with him, lest it appear he were attempting to smear someone simply because that someone disagreed with him.
He'd said nothing while he stood post in Mueller's office, and he said nothing now—a taciturn fellow, Sergeant Hughes—but the teeny-tiny camera whose lens was hidden in the uppermost button of his tunic had caught the two visitors and their earnest discussions with Lord Mueller.
That had been one of the steadholder's greatest strengths, for he'd built his own contacts and alliances as a spider built its web, weaving the strands cautiously and artfully and always making certain they would bear the weight he chose to put upon them.

The Steadholder had problems with the concept that protecting her was the most important task in her armsmen's universe, and the things she enjoyed doing were enough to turn any bodyguard's hair white.
She was the first female steadholder ever, the symbol and, many would say, the cause of the upheavals echoing through the bedrock of Grayson society.
After all, what the Steadholder didn't know wouldn't upset her, and Colonel Hill's intelligence net had identified the agitators most likely to inveigh against her for the "lechery" of her unmarried affair with Paul Tankersley.

What she wasn't quite clear on was precisely how a Manty Marine platoon sergeant transmuted into a lieutenant in the Owens Steadholder's Guard.
Oh, she was certain she detected her father's inimitable touch, and as a Grayson steadholder, Lord Owens clearly had the clout to "convince" the Royal Manticoran Marines to allow one of their sergeants to cross-transfer to the Owens Guard.
But that had been before the Conclave of Steadholders awakened to the full implications of Benjamin Mayhew's alterations to Grayson's laws of inheritance.

The protectors before Benjamin the Great didn't "bestow" them on their original steadholders; they represented what were legally independent, colony footholds under the over all authority first of the Church and later of the Conclave of Steadholders.
Honor, as Steadholder Harrington, is actually as much a head of state in her own right as any planetary president.
Going at it that way, and assuming that she secured the approval of the heads of state and legislatures involved, she could separate the titles while still keeping them in her own line, but it wouldn't be by simply "willing" one title to one child, and the other title to another.

It marked her status as Steadholder Harrington, a head of government and arguably an actual head of state, and RMN dress regulations made no provision for the regalia of foreign rulers.
He'd flatly refused to release her from her duties in Harrington unless the writ was both continued and extended in scope, and that was the way it was.
Officially, his insistence stemmed from the Grayson requirement that any steadholder must be accompanied by his (or, in Honor's case, her) armsmen.

The situation with Haven being what it was, the government had no choice but placate the Opposition in the House of Lords to secure its support for the war on the People's Republic.
But since Honor is also a Steadholder on Grayson, rather than pushing pencils behind some desk, she went to her adoptive planet to run her domain.

Not only that, but she has taken up her duties as Steadholder, and is developing a radical new (to the Graysons) technology that may make feeding their world a lot easier.
On Grayson, certain elements of Grayson society are determined to everything and anything necessary to prevent Honor Harrington from executing the duties of her office as Steadholder, all in the name of God's will.
The double hammer of the Peep attacks and the sabotage and treason cooked up to frame her very nearly destroy Honor, but she rallies and finishes strongly in a climax that you will *not* soon forget.

 The View from the Foothills: Flag in Exile, by David ...
As a result of the way she settled with Pavel Young in the previous book, Honor is on the beach; politically, the Manticoran government can't afford to give her a ship.
Not to worry; she bops off to Grayson, where (thanks to her actions in The Honor of the Queen) she is not only a planetary heroine but also Steadholder Harrington, ruler of the newly established Harrington Steading.
All is not perfectly rosy, of course; Haven is plotting an attack, and hyper-conservative forces on Grayson itself practically think she's the devil incarnate.

 Why I Go On Death Rides With Honor Harrington
Honor's actions during the raid of the Masadan Blackbird outpost and loss of control with Houseman in front of the Graysons show that her temper is often just barely held in check and is one of her greatest liabilities.
After recuperating from her injuries on Grayson, Honor gets command of the newest battlecruiser in the Manticoran fleet, HMS Nike, and after the shakedown is completed, is assigned flagship duty of a new battle cruiser squadron, commanded by a young up-and-coming rear admiral, Mark Sarnow.
Between these two events, Peep intrigues with Steadholder Mueller (you knew he'd be back causing trouble, didn't you?) result in a major political upheaval for both the Star Kingdom and the Protectorate of Grayson.

 Possible Future Events - Honor Harrington Series
I wonder what the naming convention for the Grayson SDs is? I like the idea of using the names of Steadholders (or equivalent) who passed their Tests (aced them actually).
This means that Honor (as Admiral the Steadholder Harrington) could be in charge of a joint Manticore-Grayson taskforce as long as the senior Manticore officer was a Vice Admiral or a very new Admiral of the Red (note that the GSN contingent should not be a nominal force).
The ground rules (as I understand them) is that he had appeared in the series by Flag in Exile and causes controversy on both Manticore and Grayson.
