| The Bonnet of Dolly Madison | |||||||
| Legend contributed by: Bob Maibaum | |||||||
| In the War of 1812, British General Ross captured Washington, DC and went to arrest the First Lady, Dolly Madison.
Madame, he shouted. You are under arrest! “Listen General”, said Dolly. What’s your rush? The table’s set. Take a load off. Tiffany, get these men some food! Ross protested, but everything smelled so good. You can burn the place later, Dolly said. Believe me, it’ll still be there. She sat at his elbow, and while Dolly was playing airplane with the general creamed corn, her servants were secretly taking the paintings and the documents out the back door. When Dolly got up for water, the general grabbed her arm, but she gave him her bonnet as collateral. Then she skipped out the back door to Virginia with the White House valuables. “I wanted to move anyway!” she said to Tiffany. The furious General Ross burned the White House down, but kept her bonnet. Your quest is to find the Bonnet of Dolly Madison and bring it back here. Thank You Olmec! Tell us, where is the bonnet? Kirk Fogg answered. The Bonnet of Dolly Madison can be found in the Jester’s Court! |
