Eddie of Mediawhore was rubbing his hands in glee. "That Jedi mind trick sure worked on those dumb orange gnomes" he cackled to Sherrif Malthouse. "To be sure, I almost lost my voice in alll the excitement of calling the battle, even if my lovely Nathan was absent". The Sherrif nodded in agreement, as he always does when Eddie of Mediawhore spoke. "Yes your Whoreness, that Lord Wallace got too greedy didn't he?". The ugly court jester Joffa danced around, making an ever big fool of himself than usual.
Back at the castle, Lord Wallace quietly took aside Sir Richo. "Hate and anger are of the dark side my young apprentice" he gently admonished. But to the Farmer Brown, who had ridden up late and slightly out of sorts with pitchfork in hand, Lord Wallace had stronger words "You're late - what the hell have you been up to?" Farmer Brown look suitably abashed and Lord Wallace took him and spoke so quietly no-one was able to hear what else was said. As for Squire Simmonds, all the fair maidens in the land were clamouring around him, sighing over his good looks, bulging muscles and in all physical presence. Friar Rix looked on jealousy. "When do I get the fair maidens all over me" he moaned to Greg the Miller. "Why do I have to languish in the village of Coburg?" "All in good time" comforted Greg the Miller.
