The messenger is out of breath by the time he arrives at Club Castle. And though he insists that he must tell his news to one of the adult Face Cards first, somehow by the time he finally makes it to the King or Queen, bits and pieces of the story have leaked out as he's made his way along ( Read more... )

Lancelot has been ill. Pnemonia, perhaps. Something coughing, hacking, terrible that's kept him abed for weeks. But he's finally feeling better and had decided to get a bit of fresh air. No doubt it will help his recovery.
