So when we last left Bratley, he was ruing the day (RUING, I SAY!) when he last had some potted meats. Clinging to the out-house door, begging the various deities to just kill him and put him out of his misery from the food poisoning.

Weak & trembling, he finally staggered back to the house where the harried house-keeper from our first episode had heard his pitiful screams.

"'Ere young master, you must be hungry after all that kerfuffle," she beamed at him malignantly. "I made you a nice little something to 'elp you keep your strength up."

She handed him a plate laden with potted meat sammiches.

He turned pale and shrieked like a spanked toddler. Rectum? Damn near killed 'im.

The end.
