Sir Trevor gave Lady Cheryl a few pennies for the market. She had to replenish their vegetables before baking her favourite pie later. He would remain at the castle completing reports and answering messages from the people who had need to replace possessions stolen or lost through fire or flood.

Of course there were always those who became cantankerous, and would raise their voices, making lewd suggestions as to what they would like to do to the Lords of the Privy Purse and Sir Trevor alike. Over the years experience had shown that most people who blustered and shouted, had something to hide, and most if not all of them, were fraudsters attempting to gain pennies unlawfully.

The honest folk saw the Lords of the of the Privy Purse and Sir Trevor as benefactors to their cause. Thankfully these were the majority who made the tasks and duties a rewarding venture for our Knight.

Lady Cheryl meantime, at the market, had chosen and purchased juicy orange carrots, freshly picked wild brown mushrooms, rich ripe red tomatoes and a few other provisions. Seeing that she had time to spare Lady Cheryl went to listen to her favourite minstrels, at the stall called Musica. There she found the shiny discs that had replaced the recorders. The called these new discs seedees. Purchasing three of these, she then stopped by the stall of Inside Intelligence. It had become one of her favourite stalls, she needed to purchase scrapbook software for her small box of moving pictures. She had been wanting to start a journal called " Castle News".

Finding exactly what she wanted, she rode her riding hack The Grey, back to the castle with plenty of time to spare, before preparing the evenings repast. Steak and Kidney Pie, followed by apricot jam tartlets were on the menu. Her love would eat well that night, the mood set with the songs on the seedee.
