I thought I’d done Barb as Modern major-general already, in a pirate story where she was about to get a jolly rogering.. but it turns out I did “policeman’s lot is not a happy one” insteadThe excellent combination of prose and rhyme is making me think what a wonderful Gilbert and Sullivan Opera this tale would make ...
(To the tune of Modern Major General)
I am the very model of an innocent poor much maligned ...
I've been tortured, hung and stretched, and now I'm ready for the evil horse ...
I know the Finders of the Witch, and this is not what I am...
Those far more capable than I should feel free to continue should they so wish
Mag-nificent!To the dungeon with her!” bellowed Phlebas, now taking full charge. “Take Miss Moore off in fetters to join the other condemned witches there for her final night before the grand event tomorrow on Cruxton’s Witch Burning Day.”
I can't tell whether the girls' expression is the start of a "Oh My God" or a hysterical laugh

Anathema on you, heretic author! I am composing my sermon for your execution. I'm considering preaching on Matthew 13:42.The good Vicar had fallen asleep again.
And who are those other poor wretches awaiting their fate?“Take Miss Moore off in fetters to join the other condemned witches there for her final night before the grand event tomorrow on Cruxton’s Witch Burning Day.”
On this site everyone is automatically guilty.Hmmm....will they be questioned...or does merely being nominated assure their guilt?
Maybe Barb could be placed on the wooden horse until her sentence is carried out....to make her feel "special"? Come on guys, I need a "fix"
Maybe, but it`s much more fun when they`re questioned!On this site everyone is automatically guilty.

This once again vindicated the justice found in Ancient Rome. The Praetorian saying was, "We don't arrest them, lest they're guilty. But we always hold a trial before the crucifixion." So much more decorous.On this site everyone is automatically guilty.
That's the Barb I know. She's the sinking ship who says, "I want everyone I know to go down on me ... um ... I mean ... with me ... with me, that's what I meant.Any Cruxgirls out there willing to join me at the stake?
