[Duke, Wes]

> >When we last met, Lord Ulrich and Lady Igraine came to Elfsea's

> >tournament.  And it certainly hasn't.  Although Lord Ulrich finds

> >say that it's been an interesting and enjoyable experience, and as for
> >Igraine... Well, let's just see shall we?

> >Lord Ulrich comes out upon the field with his opponent Sir Donner.  When
> >the heralds cry "Acknowledge the consort's favor you bear" they both
> >turn to Sir Donner's lady, Mistress Gerdis.  Sir Donner is puzzled
> >enough that he takes a moment to talk to Lord Ulrich.  "My lord, why bow
> >to she who is _my_ lady?"  "Ah," replies Ulrich,"but who can say whose
> >she will be when this fight is fought?  My lord, I do but honor your
> >lady who inspires me to do my best for her honor and entertainment."
> >
> >Sir Donner is impressed by this speech and lets Ulrich know that
> >whatever the outcome, Ulrich is invited to his camp and be entertained
> >by Sir Donner this evening.  Lord Ulrich accepts with a smile.  And
> >lay-on is called...
> >
> >Meanwhile Lady Igraine is not having the most satisfying time of her
> >life.  She had thought that being under Sir Ehrlich's pavillion would be
> >wonderful and although she has had her fill of sweets and drink, she is
> >quite bored.  Sir Ehrlich spends all of his time with his buddies and
> >doesn't come near the pavillion, and she is quite alone otherwise.
> >However, she has hope; a lady combatant named Vanessa de Gascon.  She is
> >quick and light on her feet.  Igraine watches the fight intently, hoping
> >that she might be "set free".  As the blow falls, she nearly cries aloud
> >with joy - The lady has won!
> >
> >Tears almost blind Igraine's eyes as the Lady Combatant strides forth
> >and kneels at her feet.  "My lady, I come to escort you to my pavillion.
> >All I can do to make your stay comfortable and enjoyable I shall
> >endeavor to do."  "And I," said Lady Igraine, "shall endeavor to compose
> >a song to delight your ears and those who also attend you.  I have been
> >a prisoner and now I am set free.  I am delighted to be your 'ransom'."
> >And they set off to sit under the little pavillion already adorned with
> >the Lady Combatant's Consort.
