Memories
From Duke Martin the Temperate:
“[... brought out, to the amusement of His Jewish Majesty.] “This reminds me that the term "The Kosher Coast" may have been coined around this time. There was HJM Andrew, I could style myself HJH, and I think the AnTir prince (Edward?) was too.
[Various entertainments were performed during the banquet.] “One of the entertainers was Christopher of Houghton. He was juggling and I remember at one point he mis-juggled and dropped everything. Well the crowd was sorely disappointed, the room filled with sounds of "ohs" and "aws." I flexed my royal whim and uttered something about Christopher losing his head over such a performance and he retorted, "But your highness, I have the crowd in Awe." Great comeback, (probably a standard part of a jugglers' repartee, but I had never heard it before), and everyone loved the "besting" I had just taken (me too).“
