It's great when you can zing Sir Edward. He's so used to being the
zing-er in these situations that when he is the victim he's utterly
unprepared.

A month or so ago I happened to be sitting near him, watching a
tournament, while, nearby, a local Mistress of the Laurel (Costuming,
FWIW) conducted some kind of order business. She was dressed in some
kind of late-period Northern European garb (garb not being my area of
specialization, especially late-period), of a rather severe black, with
a dazzling white ruff.

She then rose, rather stiffly and without a word, and quite carefully,
with two hands, put on a pair of black wrap-around sunglasses.

As Edward and I watched this, I whispered to him, "Look! A Laurel in
Black!...'Are you sure that's all you can tell me about this gentle's
cross-stitching, ma'am? Thank you very much. Now would you mind looking
into this medallion for a moment?' "

I swear those pretzels shot at least six feet from his nose in a
straight line...he then went and borrowed the shades for the rest of the
event, and had people stare into HIS medallion.
