Remember that...


I've got it! I've got it! The pellet with the poison's in the vessel with the pestle; the chalice from the palace has the brew that is true! Right?
Griselda: Right. But there's been a change: they broke the chalice from the palace!
Jester: They *broke* the chalice from the palace?
Griselda: And replaced it with a flagon.
Jester: A flagon...?
Griselda: With the figure of a dragon.
jester: Flagon with a dragon.
Griselda: Right.
Jester: But did you put the pellet with the poison in the vessel with the pestle?
Griselda: No! The pellet with the poison's in the flagon with the dragon! The vessel with the pestle has the brew that is true!
jester: The pellet with the poison's in the flagon with the dragon; the vessel with the pestle has the brew that is true.
Griselda: Just remember that.

Good morning my dearest! First of all, I saw my little accident on NOWHERE! For the life of me, I am trying to hang that chandelier on Castles, but I can't get it to go there! Then I saw that it appeared on Nowhere and that you graciously played along, being the wonderful artist and friend that you are! I bet you were wondering, "What is Anita doing?"! Do go back for I tried to play along....AND I love Danny Kaye. He had a magic spirit as well and what a fun clip to watch during this bright and happy season. Bisous ma chère, Anita
