More Revolutionary Action

There was another meeting at the Council Chambers this evening, where Paul produced the charge sheet against King Richard for treason.
Unfortunately, Richard is not back at home yet. He's back from Egypt, but has a chest infection, so he only got as far as London - he's expected back next week. At which point, Paul will approach him and tell him what we intend to do.

In the meantime, there have been other developments. Eve, Richard's book keeper, has written to Private Eye in support of the King. Here's the relevant text:
"Not one of them has the guts or the charisma to take his place. Long live the King, I say, and down with the Commonwealth.
Hay Festival and the multitudes of bookshops, antique shops, trinket shops have been parasites feeding on his success.
When Richard comes back in the spring, hopefully he will be able to give them all a Royal pardon, otherwise I think there will be a great deal of bloodshed in Hay, and I will be there with my knitting."

I saw Boz the other day, and he confirmed it tonight - he's sent a reply to the letter to Private Eye, in his persona of Witchfinder General, saying that he's going to examine Eve for sorcery.

The plot thickens....
