Kelp from the Seneschal
Every month I present a bouquet of kelp to a lord or lady who has done some special service to me or to the Shire of Southern Shoals. You will notice that I never present the Sublime Seaweed to one of my officers. This is because I expect them to work their rear ends off, and as far as I can tell, everyone of them still has his or hers attached. The Order of the Algae doesn't admit just anybody.
This month the Kelp goes to Lady Skiarhllet ap Hare, who so kindly donated the use of her warren for our annual Stoke Back Those Jingles New Years Eve Revel and Rowdy Mayhem. The Shire also wishes to apologize for the three collapsed burrows and for the entirely accidental mugging resulting from the New Years Gift Free-For-All. Let me further mention that it is our earnest desire that the three missing lords and two missing ladles will eventually find their way out of the maze of tunnels. It has only been four months, so we have not entirely given up hope.
We should also acknowledge our debt to Lady Skiarhllet's hard-working housechurl, Leif Hopper, without whose intelligent macework our casualties at the Revel might have been twice as high.
Lady Skiarhllet ap Hare, here, direct from Southern Shoals' own Stagnant Lagoon, is your Kelp Wreath of the Month, with a little sprig left over for Leif. Thanks again, and would someone please return her lord?
