“
When we entered the library we were surprised to see two other people. They were friends of Joan who would also be guests here for a part of the holiday. Their first names were Helen and John and after that the only thing I heard was that she was the Justice of the Peace in Sherwood Forest and he was the Sheriff of Nottingham. I looked at Tim first who was straight faced as usual, then at Marguerite and we both managed to suppress a grin or a laugh. I almost said, “Ok, Ok, this shit has gone on long enough, SO we’re not gonna ask if Robin Hood will be here as well.” Thank heavens I didn’t, because they were deadly serious and it was all true.
