The chapter from which this excerpt originates is titled ‘Humphrey To The Rescue’, sometimes known as Medieval Rumpy-Pumpy. This isn’t the whole chapter, as I know you are really only interested in the filthy bits. You naughty, naughty readers, you.

Humphrey To The Rescue
Wearing a disguise hastily thrown together from the contents of the College lost property box, Deputy Head Porter and sidekick Hugh from the Unlikely Law Association are searching the rival Hawkins College for a suspicious character. Unfortunately, during their endeavours they are mistaken for visiting lecturers and Deputy Head Porter finds herself in the unenviable position of having to give a lecture in medieval French…
I imagine your lecture went over smashingly, Lucy! And that Humphrey … he was some character, wasn’t he? I can see you had lots of FUN writing this section, ha!!
This was indeed an awful lot of fun 🙂 Not quite so easy to read – not and keep a straight face, anyway!
Wish I had been treated to a lecture like that when I was at college. How DO you keepo a straight face. Smashing intro to your new book!
It took a LOT of takes to get through that, I can tell you! I am now considering becoming a lecturer in medieval French. It seems like a lot of fun 😉
Parlez vous francais?
Une peu 😉 Actually, I just about introduce myself and ask for directions then I get a bit stuck after that!
Moi, aussi! 😉
