Archdruid: Charles I. King, Saint and Martyr? Or megalomaniac with a Divine Right hang-up?
All: Religious Megalomaniac? We've already got one of those.
The Archdruid invades the P[l]otting Shed.
Archdruid: OK, hand over Drayton Parslow.
Speaker of the Shed: "May it please your Archdruidness, I have neither eyes to see nor tongue to speak in this place but as the House is pleased to direct me, whose servant I am here."
Archdruid: OK cut it out, it's a shed, not a house. I've got a Slazenger V400 and I know how to use it.
Speaker of the Shed: OK, he's gone back to his room for a cup of team.
Archdruid: A man who tried to impose religious tolerance at the point of a sword. A man with Divine Right, killed by men who thought God was on their side.
All: OK, so whose side was God on?
Archdruid: Search me. Which ones were the Cavaliers?
Marston: Ooh, I used to have one of those. Or was it a Chevette?
Archdruid: You know what I'd do with Cromwell and Ireton? I'd string 'em up. It's the only language they understand. Even though they're dead...
All: They did. Even though they were.
Archdruid: Oh, OK. Creepy. Well, a plague on Ireton, anyway.
All: Yes, he got that as well.
Archdruid: Then I think we're starting to see whose side God was on.
All: Pass the frilly cuffs and wigs, Eileen!
All adjourn to the Banqueting House (formerly the Dining Room) for breakfast.
Charles I - King, Saint and Martyr? Or megalomaniac with a Divine Right hang-up? You decide. Calls cost 4 groats. Lines closed in 1660, but you may still be charged.
