Catherine Morland: *squealing in excitement after getting a new gothic novel*

William Collins, on the side: *tsk tsk* young ladies and their interests! I suppose it is good that they want to keep their little minds busy, but it should be something better than that! Are you not of the same opinion, my esteemed colleague?

Henry Tilney: what? I am so sorry, I was not following-I need to get my wife home, we have a busy evening planned out.

Catherine Tilney, neé Morland: *cheerfully* Henry, let us hurry-there are vengeful spirits in this one!

Henry Tilney: *hastening his pace* do not start without me!

When Brennan said the words "folk ballad" I was immediately possessed. This is based on the traditional ballad The Mermaid. It has many versions, but this one by Les Délices is my favourite.

The Furnace Crow (ballad 132a)

One stormy morn, the wind I'd ride But was bid and begged to stay For to ride upon a wind this wild Sure'd throw my sweet life away

And though the wind whirled round the vane With just the pitch of laughter Still I threw caution to the wind And flung my sorry ship thereafter

But sailing on the greying clouds I spied a hellish glow Oh I looked down the beak and I heard on the wind The screech of the furnace crow The screech of the furnace crow

CHORUS:

And the stormwind it did blow And the clouds did gather so But faster than even the northwest gale Is the beating of the wings of the crow, the crow, the crow Are the wings of the furnace crow

I met with a friend, in a westward port And a loyal friend was she But I left that port and I left my friend With the crow still ever hunting me

I had a true love, in a northern port And a faithful love was he But I left that port and I left my love With the crow still ever hunting me

And the stormwind it did blow And the clouds did gather so But faster than even the northwest gale Is the beating of the the wings of the crow, the crow, the crow Are the wings of the furnace crow

I slighted every harbour safe To see the horizon no more There’s no safe haven, no quiet port For those as heard the furnace roar

If I should sail to the end of the sky With each knot I put behin' me ‘tis the self same sight from the stern of my ship Still the furnace crow draws nigh me Still the furnace crow draws nigh me

And the stormwind it did blow And the clouds did gather so But faster than even the northwest gale Is the beating of the the wings of the crow, the crow, the crow Are the wings of the furnace crow

I don’t think I have an Attention Deficit. I think I have an Attention Surplus. Attention is pointing Everywhere and frankly whatever you wrote in your email is not as captivating as That Radom Noise I’m Hearing

Help me choose

I'm going to a court dancing class in a castle next month, but I'm not sure what to wear. The theme is rococo, so I've got two great options:

I'll probably be dancing as a gentleman a lot, which inclines me to look the part, but on the other hand I've never had the opportunity to show off the gown...

Dopey Royal Lindwyrm whelps.

One day, they will grow up MAGNIFICENT and wise. For now, they're a little stress inducing, hides in dumbest places, uses the smelly pile of hay in the stables, instead of the silk canopy bed to sleep in!

Last May @pioup-pioup , @somuchbetterthanthat and I went to La Journée Grand-Siècle, a costumed historical picnic held in Château Vaux-le-Vicomte every year. It was amazing.
