NR - Gulf Wars

[Willow l Taylor]

Greetings to all the folks that put on the dinner and the Rose;s
breakfast from Duchess Willow de Wisp.
As the Premier Bard it was my duty to go to the war but having paid King
Richard's ransom the Duke and I were a little short of funds. Good
hearted folk helped me out but I was a little short of rations. The Rose
Breakfast was wonderful. On a day where I was to meet my greatest
disappointments of the war it gave me warm food and good friendship. I
really don't know if it was the wonderful breads or the friendly smiles
that allowed me to face that day but I am truly thankful for both of
them. 
Willow de Wisp.
