The Knight Of Spurs And Spirits (2010) - Plot & Excerpts
The castle is grey. And the castle has a gruesome tale to tell. The castle is known as Hylton Castle and it stands – grim, grey and gruesome – on a hillside by the River Wear in the north of England. You can see it there today – a sad shell of a hollow hall. The castle is cold. The roof is gone, but the sun never shines inside the grim, grey, gruesome walls. But when the last knight lived there, the castle could be warm. When the fire was lit in the Great Hall, it was warm there by the fire. Tapestry curtains hung on the walls and kept out the draughts. Chairs had cushions high and soft to keep out the draughts as you sat by the fire … if you were one of the lucky ones that sat by the fire. Lucky – like the last knight of Hylton, Sir Robert. Logs as large as dogs flared in the fireplace and sparkled on the tapestry walls. Sir Robert took an iron poker and pushed it into the fire. Then he took a flagon of wine and emptied it into his silver cup. When the poker was glowing red, he pushed the tip into his wine and watched it bubble and boil, spit and sizzle.
