Ivy

I met Jenny and her deerhounds as she was bringing them back from a walk.
"Have you seen what King Richard's done to my ivy?" she asked, without preamble, and with great indignation.
Richard has been on a hack and slash campaign against the undergrowth around the Castle recently. It looks as if he might have got a bit carried away.
"Was that your ivy then?" I asked.
"Yes, it was," she said. "I wrote a letter to him to complain, but he hasn't replied. Just wait till I see him!"
