The Betrayal Of Father Tuck: An Outlaw Chronicles Short Story - Plot & Excerpts
He’s irresponsible, immature and dangerously reckless.’ The speaker was William Odo, Lord of Edwinstowe, a tall thin man of about thirty years, lolling in a carved wooden chair at the high table of his own hall and digesting the noon-day meal. The man he was comparing to a child was his younger brother Robert, Earl of Locksley, and husband to Marie-Anne, his principal guest, who was seated in the place of honour beside him at the long table. Marie-Anne looked down at the white linen tablecloth, now stained with meat juices and spills of rich sauces, and scattered with crumbs and the torn crusts of bread. She said nothing, but two pink spots of anger could be made out on her usually swan-white cheeks, and her clear blue eyes shot out twin bright beams of undiluted rage. She had been enduring the company of her tiresome brother-in-law in his castle of Edwinstowe, in the county of Nottingham, for the past three days and she told herself that if she heard one more casual insult from him about her husband, she would either begin screaming or smash something.
