The Legend of Gentleman

‘Once upon a time, in a Kingdom close close by, there lived a-King. This King served on many courts in other Kingdoms, known

as the courts of I.L.C.C. He grew in rank until the peasants believed him to be the great god of booze. Every week the peasants -payed homage to the great god by attending to his many round tables in his courtyard known as Gentle- man Arthur's. For the King was called King Arthur. While the King was away, the Knight in favour at ‘the time took care of these peasants. This Knight was known as Lord Brownie.

Now, it just so happened that the King was beginning to feel threatened by the Queen of a neighboring kingdon, and in order to keep peace, sanity and his wealth, he sent Lord Brown- ie to investigate the weekly follies at the Queen's Barn. The King felt that the Queen may be drawing his peasants loyalty away fromkhis court of Gentleman Arthur's.

Even his loyal lordly lord was'showing his own dis- loyalty by entedng into the Queen's Barn to participate in the frolic.

Such is the Kingdom of heaven and so it be the King- dom of King Arthur. And the peasants didn't live happily ever after. ,
