The Scarlet Derby And Midnight Jay - Volume 1: Gallery Of Rogues - Plot & Excerpts
There, the two heroes were engaged in a bit of fencing. The Derby held his weapon of choice, his cane, against that of his wife’s, an umbrella, in a duel purely designed for training purposes. “Dodge, parry, dodge, dodge,” The Derby announced every single move in the fencing sequence out loud, “thrust, dodge, thrust, parry, dod-OOF!” His last dodge was cut short when The Jay swung her umbrella in a circular motion, striking The Derby on the side of the head. She succeeded in knocking The Derby’s hat clean off and the rest of his person on the floor directly at her feet. “Sorry dear, that was a parry,” The Jay said drolly as she held the hook end of her umbrella. The Derby shook his head, scaring away the stars and birdies that were swimming around, and grabbed The Jay’s weapon to climb back on to his feet. “Do you always have to hit so hard when we’re sparring?” “If I don’t, you’ll never learn anything,” The Jay grinned in a way that raised goosebumps on The Derby’s shoulders and neck.
