[MR] gossip ....and water request

[agnes daunce]

Thank you Master Tirloch for your words and intended deed.
I misread the original email and thought each person was to
bring water. (wow, that would have been a lot of water, what was
I thinking) Anyway,I sent an email that I would bring the water,
olives and cheese.  I will follow your lead and keep my promise.
I trust his Majesty will not be offended because I am not
heeding his words.  But, I feel by showing support the sting of
the ugly words will be lessen.
 
In Service,

Agnes Daunce
