Long, long ago in Nordskogen ...

Rosanore of Redthorn was Seneschal, and had problems with people talking
during meetings. So I made her a half-dozen little red satin ricebag hearts.
Sewed a Velcro loop dot on the side of each. Made her a belt of white
elastic, with a red heartshaped buckle, with a half-dozen Velcro hook dots.
She could go into the meeting with an ammunition-belt (as it were) of red
satin hearts.

When somebody talked she would, in the Puritan spirit of loving correction,
throw a heart at them.
