Putting it on a spike on the battlements was good enough when I was a lad. :mad:

Oh come now. A spike on the battlements is for traitors, not spies, surely.


SO, MISS MOORE, IF YOU'RE PLANNING TO COME BACK AS A GHOST TO HAUNT THE ABBEY, WOULD YOU LIKE TO WEAR YOUR HEAD NORMALLY, OR CARRY IT AROUND UNDER YOUR ARM? NOW'S THE TIME TO THINK OF YOUR OPTIONS. :devil:

There are all sorts of new research and resulting regulations going on in this period. They even banned head-spiking because they thought maggots eating the severed head's brain attracted flies not realizing they were bred-larvae!!!
 
Miss Barbara Moore, condemned to death by beheading, is fetched from the catacombs and a dozen guards use her throughout the night. One of them told her that when they finish with her she will be begging to see the headsman. It was a bit of an exaggeration but not by much. By the time she is tossed into the cell where she will spend her last hours she begins thinking that death may be her only escape from this so-called ‘civilized’ society.

Exhausted she even drifts off for a few hours of sleep only to awake to the sounds of a mob down below the high barred window. She steps up on the board that is her last bed and peers out the window.

She is greeted with heavy warm moist air and a horrific sight below as two nude women with wrists bound are led out to courtyard below to the platform where the headsman stands next to the chopping block. Their hair has been bluntly shorn to top of their neck so allow the headsman a clear view where his axe will fall.

The young blond woman is taken to the block first and forced to kneel.

The headman says “It is going to happen, little girl. Cooperate and it will quick and neat.”

g 030.jpg

As much as logic told her resisting the inevitable was pointless she still had to be pushed forward to lay her throat on the block.

g 031.jpg

As her neck touches the wood she pees on the leg of the headsman’s assistant as he says “Just stay still.”

The words have not left his mouth when the headsman wheels the huge axe. Before I can shriek, the blade thunders against block. I don’t remember if I heard her head fall onto the straw covered platform but I will die with the sight of her headless body twitching a blood coursing from her severed neck.

g 032.jpg

Christ I didn’t know I pissed!!! Even the bitch Joan Tree seems appalled as watched the woman’s body thrashed its last.

The next woman is brought to the block. She has an attitude I hope I can replicate later today.

g 033.jpg

She turns and smiles calling back “Remember this Gaelic Warrior is with you for eternity!”

g 034.jpg

That cunt Joan Tree thinks the woman is looking at her but I know she is looking past her to me. She says “I am Tash, Barb. We will embrace soon.”

Who is she and how does she know my name? She tells the assistant to keep his British hands off her and lays her neck on the block that is warm and sticky from the first woman’s blood. She all too calmly calls “Show me you fucking Brits can do one thing right!”

g 035.jpg

This time I hear her head bounce on the platform. The headsman picks it up by the hair and holding it up declares “It is better to lose a battle and win the war!”

g 036.jpg

Did she feel anything? Will I?

“Barb I brought you clothes. You need to dress. You’ve only an hour” Siss says to me.

There is a scene in "Charade" (Cary Grant and Audrey Hepburn) where Hepburn, accused of murdering her husband is told that if convicted, she will go to the guillotine. The police superintendant informing her of this says, "I have always thought that the condemned only feels the blade as a tickle on the back of the neck. Pray you will never find out."

I suspect the axe, however sharp, is not so delicate. Mind you, there's only that one way to find out, and you don't write a paper on it afterwards.

Exciting episode, Tree.

I would guess a large sharp axe would equal a 1700s to 1800s guillotine. Unlike movie depictions the blade didn't drop a finely built and greased track. It more rattled down the derrick and the weight above the blade alone would insure even the dullest blade would severe even the most muscular neck.

If Tree's skinny ass can split a 10" log with a six inch axe face, I'm sure this headsman would have no problem with his axe on a neck...

"Charade" is an all-time favorite move of mine. I first watched it on one of the networks' 'some night at the movies' and bought it first on VHS then on DVD...

Sounds like a fancy Brit title: do you think the Queen will make me a peer? How about a Knighthood? :)

Trust me you will have to concentrate not to walk 'bow-legged'... No one out does Dorothy!!!

As for clothing it was promised you would be brought to the block as a lady and only stripped to what will be needed to... well, you know...

Do you really want the Queen to give you a pear???

Very clever. You knew perfectly well I said "peer" as in "peerage"; and as for Canada ... who knows, maybe the Canadians wouldn't mind a few new provinces. After all they do things so much more sensibly there.

Miss Moore seems unnerved by the prospect of loosing her head . Even her writing seems a bit faint today...

Miss Moore was having difficulty in the heat of wild passion finding the appropriate color icon on her iPhone. Strange things happen when one wanders north of the border :oops:
