[MR] gossip ....and water request

[Thorgrimm at aol.com]

<<I feel that a small water donation is a fair request.  Just think of the
good will it would produce when visitors from other Kingsdoms enter our
Court and are greeted with a cold drink and refreshments!  It is not as if
his Majesty ordered everyone to bring him food and drink for his personal
use.  This is for use by the populace and our Court visitors!!>>

    As with all kind thoughts and good intentions, there are those who will 
seek out fault. Of course supplying water for the Populace sitting underneath 
the hot Pennsic sun is a good idea. A request by the King to His Barons to aid 
him in this idea is completely appropriate and shouldn't have given anyone 
room to find any masked conspiracies. 
    We want to create an atmosphere of honor and chivalry and raise ourselves 
to a higher level of courtesy. Slander against those who work the hardest is 
often the case, though I'm hard pressed to understand why. Courtesy begins and 
ends with each of us individually. We need to all keep that in mind.
   A King's primary job is to look after His people. How can we find fault in 
Logan for doing so?
