Lady Cheryl visited the castle of Lady Jowyne and Sir Marvyn. She had need to thank them for their gift, a beautiful journal. It was a gift that had much thought and caring spent on it. After being welcomed inside, she complimented Lady Jowyne for being so beautifully turned out at the banquet.

Lady Jowyne informed her that they had really enjoyed themselves and though they were reluctant to depart early, they had no choice in the matter. Lady Jowyne's mother the dowager Lady Constance had suffered another bad turn and could not be left for long to fend for herself.

On her return to the castle, our Lady found Sir Trevor ready to set out on Beamer, to the the Valley of the Tiger. He had need to see a seamstress to have new shirts made. He enquired if Lady Cheryl would like to accompany him? She declined his invitation saying she would rather take the time to relax in the gardens.

When he returned our Knight displayed his new attire for his lady's approval. He did look handsome she thought. He then presented her with a gift in a box tied with ribbons. It was a lovely set of lingerie, perfect for the coming hot summer nights. Lady Cheryl was delighted. His reward would come later, but, in the meantime she had prepared a loin of tender mutton to be served with crisp roasted potatoes. A motley mix of colourful vegetables would be added. Served on a bed of white rice she had made a delicious gravy to top it off. Descending down to the cellar Sir Trevor chose a mead of rose blended by Four Cousins, this he decided would be perfect to wash down their meal.
