Oops!

    There was a section of Chapter 9.2 missing from the original rough draft. Feel free to go back and read it with the first 1900 words actually there. It was supposed to be a longer chapter to make up for the lack of two posts and a delay of so long between posts. That''s all I had to say…Here’s the opening scene from monty python and the holy grail to fill the other 400 words or so.

    ARTHUR: Whoa there!


    [clop clop clop]


    SOLDIER #1: Halt! Who goes there?


    ARTHUR: It is I, Arthur, son of Uther Pendragon, from the castle of Camelot. King of the Britons, defeater of the Saxons, Sovereign of all England!


    SOLDIER #1: Pull the other one!


    ARTHUR: I am, and this is my trusty servant Patsy. We have ridden the length and breadth of the land in search of knights who will join me in my court at Camelot. I must speak with your lord and master.


    SOLDIER #1: What? Ridden on a horse?


    ARTHUR: Yes!


    SOLDIER #1: You''re using coconuts!


    ARTHUR: What?


    SOLDIER #1: You''ve got two empty halves of coconut and you''re bangin'' ''em together.This story originates from Royal Road. Ensure the author gets the support they deserve by reading it there.


    ARTHUR: So? We have ridden since the snows of winter covered this land, through the kingdom of Mercia, through--


    SOLDIER #1: Where''d you get the coconuts?


    ARTHUR: We found them.


    SOLDIER #1: Found them? In Mercia? The coconut''s tropical!


    ARTHUR: What do you mean?


    SOLDIER #1: Well, this is a temperate zone.


    ARTHUR: The swallow may fly south with the sun or the house martin or the plover may seek warmer climes in winter, yet these are not strangers to our land?


    SOLDIER #1: Are you suggesting coconuts migrate?


    Not at all. They could be carried.


    SOLDIER #1: What? A swallow carrying a coconut?


    ARTHUR: It could grip it by the husk


    SOLDIER #1: It''s not a question of where he grips it! It''s a simple question of weight ratios! A five ounce bird could not carry a one pound coconut.


    ARTHUR: Well, it doesn''t matter. Will you go and tell your master that Arthur from the Court of Camelot is here?


    SOLDIER #1: Listen. In order to maintain air-speed velocity, a swallow needs to beat its wings forty-three times every second, right?


    ARTHUR: Please!


    SOLDIER #1: Am I right?


    ARTHUR: I''m not interested!


    SOLDIER #2: It could be carried by an African swallow!


    SOLDIER #1: Oh, yeah, an African swallow maybe, but not a European swallow. That''s my point.


    SOLDIER #2: Oh, yeah, I agree with that.


    ARTHUR: Will you ask your master if he wants to join my court at Camelot?!


    SOLDIER #1: But then of course, uh, African swallows are non-migratory.


    SOLDIER #2: Oh, yeah.


    SOLDIER #1: So, they couldn''t bring a coconut back anyway.


    [clop clop clop]


    SOLDIER #2: Wait a minute! Supposing two swallows carried it together?


    SOLDIER #1: No, they''d have to have it on a line.


    SOLDIER #2: Well, simple! They''d just use a strand of creeper!


    SOLDIER #1: What, held under the dorsal guiding feathers?


    SOLDIER #2: Well, why not?
