Hidey ho, Mistress Agnes - I do hope you're bringing a few kegs of mulled cider - er, Lamb's Wool - as those recalcitrant prisoners (and or parrots) might need it, after seeing your pillory and stocks! Now you know Mistress, Janet is certainly an interesting person, if a little bossy - you should drag her along! Remember, the more the merrier! Perhaps we can pair her off with a cheerful prisoner - have heard the person in cell 273 is quite charming; he's there, accused but not found guilty [yet] of bamboozling several inhabitants of their hard-earned cash. Perhaps she can entice him into giving his rather amusing version of the incident, as she's interested in encouraging people to give talks about their lives, and he certainly has a silver tongue. What, pray tell, is the title of her book, with pictures of you within? Isn't it marvelous to be so enshrined?? And you, certainly, deserve every bit of it. Can't wait to try those jumbles... do they have lobster as a primary ingredient?? Have heard that the gaol has a huge, cavernous 'center/primary' room, with smaller rooms round about - with a circular stair leading downwards, toward the depths of the dreaded dungeons. Just the sort of place our lovely Dragon will love, as he can perch on the ramparts, while we can make jolly in the primary room.

Oh Janet in Darkest Devon is far too bossy. Though the thought of incarcerating her in Bodmin jail is quite appealing. It was kind of you to mention my stardom in Janet's book, though I am a trifle peeved that the cover depicts Master Christopher and Mistress Martha and not myself - what an oversight. I think mentioning its title here might be deemed advertising - I'll have to wait for another list member to refer to it. How thoughtful of Jan to think of gingham curtains. I know at past parties folk have knitted various garments. I am sticking to my drop spindle and my lucette this time but I am sure folk can create things from my spun Jacob's Fleeces. I've seen the request for lobster and crab and will be bringing some of Clovelly's finest. They will be virtual though as it is herring season rather than crab and lobster season. I could bring some 'silver darlings' as well - in fact I think herring scales could make a suitably glittery adornment for the costumes of some folk. Not yet decided on my mode of transport - waiting for some handsome cavalier to ride by and offer me a lift.
