From the Sketchbook: Scene 1

nun writing in scriptorium, Abbess Cynethrith, St. Rumwold the Infant Prodigy, baskets of medicinal herbs, relgious relics, naked king Beorhtric, angry queen Odburh

These sketches illustrate the first scene of Courting Trouble. After a tour of her abbey with a very tiresome bishop, the elderly Abbess Cynethrith reminisces about her youth. She tells us about the day she pumped a monk for information, got a glimpse of a naked monarch, and ran into a very angry queen.
