Lady Emily Walked Her Horse
they would be eating lunch- if they contain a fish tooth
- felt slick and slippery
- looked like an awkward-legged deer
- walked her horse as slow as you please
- the hideous creature roaming the woods
Lady Emily walked her horse as slow as you please on the path through the forest. Everyone at the manor house would be waiting for her. If not for her absence they would be eating lunch. But a lady never hurries.
Of course Lady Emily had heard the rumors of the hideous creature roaming the woods, but had paid them no heed. Why should she listen to the ramblings of peasants? As if they contain a fish tooth of wisdom!
Movement in the trees off to her left caught Lady Emily’s attention. It looked like an awkward-legged deer until it snarled and pounced.
The reins suddenly felt slick and slippery in Lady Emily’s grip as her mount whinnied in fright, and bolted.
Quick as you please, Lady Emily found herself unseated. She thumped gracelessly to the ground and turned to face the Beast.
