Weeeelllll, since it seems no one else is going to tell you, I will give it
a try.  It would appear that Lord Lew of Glaslyn has fallen on hard
times.  I am sure that is the problem because he was always such an
honorable man and would never (normally) have taken to sheep stealing.  But
then, when you have a Lady with expensive taste (as we all are, just some
more than others) I guess a Lord must do what a Lord must do. The sheep
band in question was showing at least two brands.  One being the famous
"LR" from Loch Ruadh and the other a brand I could not see clearly, but,
Baron Fritz of Steppes did lay claim and assure everyone they were from his
personal band.  Lord Lew tried to flee the area immediately but was
apprehended and returned to court by some fleet footed gentles, where he
loudly proclaimed that he had purchased the sheep in question.  He could
even give an name of the seller but, alas, could not produce the bill of
sale.  Baron Fritz, being the kind and gracious ruler he is, did grant Lord
Lew until the Steppes Warlord contest, to find and present this supposed
bill of sale.  When he was released, Lord Lew took to the shadows with a
dark and concerned look on his face.   I am afraid all does not bode well
for this fallen gentle Lord.  I know that Baron Fritz is a tolerant Master,
but even Masters have their limits and it would not surprise me to hear
that 'heads must roll' for this transgression.  We should all remember Lord
Lew in our prayers for he needs all the help he can get.

Although it is not 'skinny' this is as accurate account as I can recall.
