Eowyn, or, Virtue Encumbr'd

by violetta1485

Then says Squire Wormtongue, Now, my pretty saucebox, (snatching up my hand), what d'ye say to _that_?
Thinks I, what can I, what _shall_ I say? O my poor papa, if only you were able to advise your poor, poor Eowyn, instead of brainwashed by ringwraiths!
Squire Wormtongue, says I, indeed, I wish not you nor any man harm...
Speak plainly, minx! So you wish not any man harm, do you? But you say not that you wish no orc harm, nor no wringwraith--ay, I know your chop-logic, Miss!
But indeed, Squire, when 'tis you who wish harm to my Virtue--
Virtue be d----d! cries he, gritting his teeth--what is left of them. And indeed, my dear Theodentine, is't not strange what poor dental hygiene these fellows have? I have but late seen better teeth on Master Gimli, who opens bottles (and occasionally porticullises) with his teeth), and who belike flosses no more often than he shaves!
But I hear strange slithering noises in my Closet, and so must leave off...

Your most Unhappy
Eowyn
