Another meeting of the Revolutionary Council last night, where we greeted Tim the Gardener as our new Master of the Commonwealth's Musick - he has a guitar and has composed a song for us (which nearly got him lynched when he tried it out on open mic night at Kilvert's - the audience was clearly composed of Royalists).
We were talking about the press release for the advert for an executioner, and thought we should have a seperate press release for the protest song next week.
And at some point, Paul said, "we must have 'Down Your Way with the Witchfinder General'!"
At which Boz came out with several juicy morsels of local sexual scandal - all of which I have now forgotten.
The trial date is coming up soon, too, and Paul should have booked the Council Chambers by now, for the evening of April 1st. We don't expect Richard to turn up in person, but we are hoping that he will have an eloquent defence advocate in the shape of Rob Soldat the story teller. Rob said that he was mainly a Royalist because the Puritans were so boring - but Tim said we should make our Commonwealth a happy one, with more people wearing bright colours and eccentric clothes, like Hay used to be. He also suggested that we should have a Repository of Anecdotes about Richard, sort of along the lines of a Book of Condolences, but for anyone to record their memories of silly or funny stories about Richard.
Boz, as Witchfinder General, is going to be the prosecutor at the trial, and I've agreed to be the Judge!
We're having another meeting next Wednesday, by which time Paul should have the makings of a costume as Lord Protector (but, golly, lobster pot helmets are expensive!).
