The Hole Story

This is a true story.  Names have been changed to protect the people who are going to probably get sued.  Well, I hope they do anyway, they should.

Once upon a time a lovely Queen (grin) saved herself (Little girls please note that there was in no way a Prince involved.) from the dungeon and settled in a lovely...uh....apartcastle.  Now three other families also had lodgings in this apartcastle.  In the first dwelling lived a jester, in the second a Maid and her two children, the third belonged to two lovely maidens, and the fourth is where our Queen took up residence.

Within each of these dwellings there were two large air intake vents right in the floor.  One in the drawing room, and one in the bedchamber.  These were covered by a flimsy lattice made of wood.  The Queen, in fear of the royal cats falling through, blocked the first with a large plant, and the former with a chest full of treasure. (or winter hats, mitts, scarves.....)  At the first royal audience with the Maid in number two these grates were discussed, as the Maid did not have a cover over the one in her own bedchamber, thus had a large hole in the floor.  She had taken this up with the evil Duke of Landlord, but in the five years that the Queen had dwelled in the apartcastle nothing had been done to fix the problem.  The Maid finally covered the hole with a babygate.

Some valuble pictures were lost down the hole several years ago, but the Duke wouldn't budge.  A hamster was lost down the hole a couple years back, and the Duke still wouldn't budge.  Then....the MAID fell into the open hole, her leg becoming firmly stuck.  When her paniced daughter came to find the Queen, it was to no avail, her ladyship was out riding. (or stuck late at work) All the King's horses and all the kings men (13 to be exact) were called in, and had to cut the poor Maid free from her prison!

The Maid was sent to the apothecary to be leeched.(X-rays)  The Queen had an audience with her Mother, and the Duke had better get his act together quickly!  AND That is the Hole Story!
