When the King came down to the counting house and found all his money had gone he ranted on as only Kings can in the Kingly way for a year and a day, which was surprising but only in that it reminded me of the pea green boat and the ***** cat the loss of his dosh had nothing whatsoever to do with that. The King was now potless not a penny to spare he couldn't sell knighthoods or forested woods, he was as they say,'boracic lint' skint a pauper.
His Daughter, the lady Jamille cried a lot for now she'd to deal with the peasantry and pleasantly so, she had to learn how to grow, cabbages,turnips and broad beans it seems she did well enough to feed the family with vegetables she could stuff tomatoes with mince because quince was 'orf' the menu she made ragout and that was a mess,spilled it all down her best lavender dress and she cried a lot more. Being poor was not good and being knightless and single was worse,she was sure she'd been cursed by some well versed old witch who was concocting a spell to leave her quite naked,not even a stitch to her name, I did mention her name was Jamille? yes Jamille learnt to steal and to lie and to cheat a normal occupation if you have to stand on your own two feet (in shoes which she stole) She got caught in the end and in the courts of the justice was ordered to mend her ways. The old King was ashamed but could hardly be blamed for this circumstance which caused him such grief it was down to the thief who stole all of his money and the same thief pretends now to be posh, well he would do with all of that dosh but we know different don't we.
Clothes may make the man as much as any amount of money can but it does not make you a king and vice versa,
