Following Orders

[Monsignor de Beaumanoir]

Because they've not lived to tell about it?

I may be opening a door here, but let us play six degrees of separation here, and see what I have uncovered:

(William Congreve, playwright/poet  1697)

Congreve was born in Bardsey, West Yorkshire, England (near Leeds). His parents were William Congreve and his wife, Mary (née Browning); a sister was buried in London in 1672. He spent his childhood in Ireland, where his father, a Cavalier, had settled during the reign of Charles II. Congreve was educated at Trinity College in Dublin; there he met Jonathan Swift, who would be his friend for the remainder of his life. Upon graduation, he matriculated in the Middle Temple* in London to study law, but felt himself pulled toward literature, drama, and the fashionable life.

*The Honourable Society of the Middle Temple is one of the four Inns of Court exclusively entitled to call their members to the English Bar as barristers; the others being the Inner Temple, Gray's Inn and Lincoln's Inn. It is near the Royal Courts of Justice, within the City of London.

In the 13th century, the Inns of Court originated as hostels and schools for student lawyers. The Middle Temple is the western part of "The Temple", the headquarters of the Knights Templar until they were dissolved in 1312; the awe-inspiring Temple Church still stands as a "peculiar" (extra-diocesan) church of the Inner and Middle Temples.

[Sir William Marcus]

  I've never been scorned

Never ever, never, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, super-duper never ever???

[Femme Falchion]

Brother William

just to be sure, I am defining scorn within the context (that of love/relationship) and the defintion that I believe Congreve attributed to the word

"to reject, refuse, or ignore with contempt or disdain " as opposed to "mock or jeer"

having said that;

No. Never. Ever. Ever.  Super-duper. A godly woman, such as myself, has only had 1 other relationship besides my sacred relationship with God.  I've only 1 husband and he has never, ever had the power or the motivation to behave in such a manner.      He is, in fact, a Saint. 

Nice work bringing it back around Brother Warrior.  I noted that Congreve's father was a Cavalier but missed the reference to the Middle Temple (and would not of recognized it for what it was anyway...) Bravo.

You meant dumped or blown off....ok ..gotcha!

[Femme Falchion]

My Lord reminds me that he refused my first invitation (he was involved with another).....so I may stand corrected 

You know Brother William, I can't seem to remember a thing of my past lives since that exorcism......

[Sir William Marcus]

Thats quite alright my sister, as it is normal after a cleansing to forget undesirable events.

[Lady Christina de Pond]

yes but remembering of undesired events also makes us who we are.

[Femme Falchion]

thanks Brother William for removing the picture.....that just wasn't right 

[Sir William Marcus]

Sister Hatchet, What ever are you talking about...'a picture?

[Femme Falchion]

must have been a brief unholy vision.....it happens when I eat fresh figs.

[Sir William Marcus]

ROFL!

[Monsignor de Beaumanoir]

I thought I'd post this before leaving to train more of our brave warriors:
