Looking for a miracle? Our Lady of the Multiple Miseries has got the answer for you. Whether it’s famine, pestilence, or a nattering mother-in-law, you can rid yourself of whatever plagues you for the sum of only 9.99 (gold coins only: no paper currency, please!). Make payments to Our Lady of the Multiple Miseries, care of Abbé Gaston la Fraude, Box 1 ½, Carennac Monastery. 

GOSSIP!!!

Romance on the QT at Castle Le Grand:

Pals Drop the Dime on Lady Amelie

It’s all very hush-hush, but our spies tell us that Lady Amelie has found herself a new boy toy. Tattler engravers captured a shot of this lascivious lady lifting her skirt above her ankle in the company of new beau, Luis of Spain. The Castle crowd is buzzing over the news that when offered the Castle’s best pate de foie gras, Lady Amelie’s Spanish swain asked for directions to the nearest tapas bar. Sources close to Madame Amelie’s plucky enamorato say that he ate sausages last Friday, clearly an indication that this Iberian infidel’s beliefs are as profligate as those of Saint Augustine during the latter’s dalliance with  Manichæism. Watch this space for further news about “Lamelie.” 

Which abbot at the Carennac Monastery is inordinately proud of his partial stigmata? Keep it on the down low, but reliable sources tell us that it is SELF-INFLICTED. Woe unto this brother, for verily, he hath fallen out of a state of grace!

A certain Lady who wishes to retain her anonymity has donated a three-legged sow to the community at Carennac Monastery. Not since Francis of Assisi emptied his purse on the tomb of Saint Peter has the Church seen such a display of generosity. God bless you, Lady Amelie!

    I'm a New York grandma, living in San Antonio. I've been writing nonsense for a few years now, and I think there's enuff of it now to start a blog.
