"A Knight of Murder"

Here ye, here ye!!


Two Saturdays ago, the royal Lord Taylor and Lady Gwendolyn held a magnificent feast for the vising King Kyle and Queen Guinevere at the noble Fernwood Manor. Among those invited to come were chivalrous knights, fair maidens, a baron, the sheriff and his wife, the watchman, a peasant girl, a chambermaid, and...a murderer. Yes, you heard that right. A murderer. Let me explain.


Through the course of the evening, complete with an elaborate dinner and entertainment, peasants and royalty alike were shocked by the cruel murder of Sir Rufus. No one knew who the murderer (or should I say murderess) was. All who attended the feast were given certain secret objectives they need to fulfill and money they could either keep or spend by bribery.


After the objectives were accomplished, Watchman William produced evidence he had collected pertaining to the murder. Everyone present was under the obligation to examine the clues and write who they thought was the murderer (along with "best actor" and "best dressed") on a slip of paper. These slips of paper were gathered and counted.


The guests waited anxiously in the dinner hall. Then, the murderer was condemned. It was the sweet Lady Diana of Dunnesbury! She had killed Sir Rufus because of a twisted, complicated scheme to obtain her freedom from peasantry. Shocked and appalled as everyone was, they could not help admiring Lady Diana's cunning.


And, Lady Diana was found to be the murderer--or should I say "murderess"--of Sir Rufus.
Thus concludes my tale of "A Knight of Murder".

Sincerely,

Sherilyn, otherwise known as Twinkle.

So, Twinkle was trying to glare without laughing, but trying to glare always makes one laugh...especially if she is glaring at someone with medieval clothes on and speaking in a British accent.
