“I don’t suppose anyone’s thought about where we’re going to get shoes now?” asked the tea lady. “I mean you all seem quite happy to burn the only shoemaker.”

An unusually smart insight in basical economy. The tea lady will probably the next candidate for being burned as a witch (if they will find enough dry firewood).:oops:

It's all about perception!:rolleyes:

“What’s it for?” asked Father Boris. “Nobody can wear a boot this size.”

“Where’s the other one?” asked the blacksmith. “It’s only the right boot. Where’s the left boot?”

Good thinking... but risky - never heard of Laocoön?:doh:

“I think the prince has arrived,” she said. She said it hopefully, but still a bit uneasily, because he didn’t seem to have an army. He didn’t seem to have any help at all.

Endeavouring a massive attack with one prince, three elves in a boot and a sorcerer messing up his spells. The 'Russian steamroller' was clearly not invented yet.:confused:

Great episode, Jolly!:)

Many thanks to everyone for playing along so far, and for all the comments and ideas. This is great fun for me, and I'm pleased you all seem to be having a good time with it as well. I didn't expect this to catch on the way it seems to have done. :) I'm working diligently on the next chapter in which we all start back for a confrontation with the evil, mad Tsar, and probably nearly certain death, or at least a bit of peril, and Phlebas and Barb meet a couple of highwaymen. We'll be back to it soon.
