Ear Behind the Throne
Well, dearies, what lady in waiting (it all depends on what you're waiting for), initials XoYtPPL, has gone overboard, leaving the peer for a romp in the waves with the Lord Admiral of the Shoals? Is she getting her feet wet? Or more than that? Stay tuned in, gentles, because Ear Knows All. And how about that Crusader who exchanged hot words with our most polished mid-East lord? In-sultan, let me tell you!
And what goes on in that unstable
constable's pavilion
behind closed flaps? I'd tell you but my lips are sealed. With real
silver,
dearies. What lady has five different lords fighting for her?
I'm sorry, I just can't go on. I have never been so hurt; I am simply scrawling through my tears. I know I don't get any respect, but this latest is just too much. Mistletoe King of Arms has insisted that not only must every item in this column be correct, period (where's the fun in that?), but also I have to have evidence to back up my statements. He calls it documentation. I call it regimentation. Until we get rid of this overregulation and niggling concern with accuracy, Ear is just going to fill up with wax.
Maybe I'll become a Chronicler. They don't have to worry about being right.
