Hello again...

...Sorry for the delay. I was busy setting some things up. No need to worry -- Grace is still sleeping peacefully.


I have decided that we shall employ a new blog for this next clue. And where is this new blog? What is it called? Well, what did the three drunkards seek and find in "The Pardoner's Tale"? Tell me that and you'll find your answer.

    In "The Pardoner's Tale" the three drunkards seek Death who has slain a friend and ultimately under an oak tree they each find their 'death'.

      And what does the young boy call Death when they ask him? Something about a thief?

    A sly old thief

      Almost. Not sly, not unseen. Try a more modern translation.

    It is also translated to private/privy, secret, sneaky or stealthy...

      One of those is correct. Which one?

      He has slain a thousand in this pestilence; and master, before you come before him, it seems to me that you would be best if you were wary of such an adversary. Be ready to meet him at all times; my mother taught me this. I can say no more.

    TY annaz. Lady, do the bolded letters rearranged spell "as dream can be" or maybe "can be as dream"?

      Or maybe "Danse Macabre"?

      You are quite correct in your third guess - the dance of death it is indeed.

      Well done.
