"Ahh Sweet Maiden of charm, Thy beauty is one that surpasses... how now?" *turning around and dropping the hand of the lovely lady.* "Oh I cry your pardon, I saw thee not, else wise I would ne'er have been so rude and turn'd my back to thee. Allow me to introduce myself. I am Sir Cedric Ryder, Knight of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth Gloriana, First Queen of England to bear that name." *deep sweeping bow with a flourish of my cape*
Please forgive the mask howe'er as thou mayst know we are celebrating Her Majesty's arrival this day. Ahh mayhap thou dost not know. I think me by thy strange clothing that thou art new to this shire, So allow me to inform you of a few things. Firstly, thou art in Staffordshire. The land is in the care of Lady Essex for her good husband Sir Walter Deveroux, Lord Essex, Is fighting the irish rebels in the low lands. I would still be there fighting, though not with Lord Essex, if it were not for my dear half brother, Sir James Ryder. Know thee that my brother did save the very life of Lord Essex. Though in the effort was wounded to where he could no longer walk. In gratitude for saving his life Lord Essex placed my brother in his employ as the clerk of the estate. Seeing as my brother did not yet have a manservant of his own, I was granted permission to join my brother here."
"Well, James did learn that a part of his duties as clerk were to keep the accounts. And I knowing that James had little skill in numbers, did take upon myself the keeping of those records. Yet neither Lord not Lady Essex is aware of this fact for I wish not to diminish my brothers other goodly skills in his duties. Howsome e'er, I digress! Her Majesty doth each summer visit several of Her Majesty's subjects, and she will be gracing us with her presence even this day! And so many in the shire have made merry and practiced other entertainments. Mayhap you'll be as entertained as Her Majesty.
"What hoe? She aproaches! GOD SAVE THE QUEEN!"
