Patience and Charity

Charity and the Laird: now how come he's not lookin at the camera????

ahh, the three virtues! patience, charity and chastity!
smiliing, laughing and having fun.....as usual!~

patience and chastity: two pretties working industriously!
(but note how close the keg is!)

The English Riflemen of the 94th Regiment Afoot, Napolionic War
got their pay and visited our Tavern one fine afternoon....whilst there we provided our usual
charming hospitality (read: gave them food and lots of ale!) and of course our usually charming company!
(read: we flirted outrageously, per usual!~)
So enamoured was one swain, that he boldly took Chastity in his arms, slung her over his shoulder
and absconded with her threatening to take her all the way back to his camp!
Thus the-

Abduction of Chastity!

With kicking limbs and petticoats flashing Chastity  is abuducted!
Quick! Someone help!
(the crowd watches on, amused...but do they help?? NO!)

Will he take her ALL the WAY to his camp???

Even whilst being abducted, ever modest Chastity reveals nothing!

But wait! Is that a pleased smile on her charming face!???

At this point the randy rifleman relented and set Chastity down, she scurried back to the Privateer camp
...relieved and happy oh so happy that he did not go all the way....back to his camp...thusly she kept her good name intact!

"So dear to heaven is saintly chastity, That, when a soul is found sincerely so
A thousandliveried angels lackey her" --Milton.

The young swain, overcome with gratefulness at the generosity and hospitality
of the ever giving Charity gives her a tip!
Please note that she holds onto his wrist to make sure he does not loose his hand in her ample bodice!
Nor does she lose the coin!

Not content with giving her a single coin, he persuades her to sit upon a nearby hay bale
and thus gives her yet another coin for her Charity Chest!

So pleased is she, that the young Soldier has learned the benefits of being Generous to those In Need, (as *she* always is, of course!)
she warmly embraces him, and praises him for a job ....well done!

And a good time was had by ALL!

You know, when you ask someone to take a picture...don't you think it would be
nice to focus in ON THEIR FACES!~ This is what i find later as i go through the photo's taken upon that day!
and i know who is to blame!...yes...it was this rogue!

Arrgh, Matey!

The Union Soldiers, ever dapper fellows, pay the Tarts and the Tavern a Visit after Tacticals!

They convince (not that they needed much arm twisting!) Chastity and Charity to serve a member of their Unit,
who is celebrating his 18th brithday, a couple of succulent treats!
Oranges and Cookies! (geez, what were *you* thinking of!!? tsk, tsk!)

Chastity nearly swoons, so overheated was she by the young man's evident ardour!
Charity plies him with more juicy and sweet temptations.

More tarts gather round as the Young Soldier is
bussed happily on the cheek and wished a
Very Happy Birth  Day~!

The Union Soldiers promise to return to the Tavern and the Tarts next year.....and with more Coin!

Charity (nearly falling out of her shift! ack!) and some of the friendly lads
 

Pretty Pat, Privateer Wench and Piratical Pup! (how's that for alliteration!?)

When there is a pretty wench about...not long till she's joined by a Pirate!

and the piratical swain poses with the pretty wench so graciously (yeah, did you think we had to twist his arm!??)

Well, thanks for visiting, please come again!
