come one come all!
Yr Hmbl and Obedient Servnt YeOldeTowneCrier, happy over to have found her satin duds (said duds were reclaimed by the Editor of Pax Papers, via hand to hand combat with a Russian (!)Trader who had posed as the Turkish Trader, and...
However, the Editor of Pax Papers, who had been kidnapped by the Editors of the Courier, happily taking advantage of her brilliant King's English, were loath to let her engage in this hand to hand combat for a mere black satin (by now wrinkled and stained and colors turning scarlet)duds, tried to hogtie her first, with nothing but a quill, a pair of scissors and a glue pot in her mouth, for write/cut/paste, and the Said Pax Papers editor had first to wrestle down (not an easy task, considering she was burdened with quill, scissors and glue pot in her mouth) the Courier Editors,and the go and mano-a-mano combat The Ruski Trader...

Thank you.
