A trial about sex?
There is a trial, and it is going to try the patience of the Queen, an adroit monarch of remarkable patience considering her absolute power and high opinion of herself. The trial is considered by the Queen to be a farce and early on, she finds this to be true; but as the supreme arbiter, she must endure the entire process from beginning to end and valiantly attempt to remain awake. In the process, the two leading Counselors who are perpetually at odds with each other historically vie for the Queen's approval, which she considers most appropriate, . The prosecutor wants to hang everyone and the defense attorney is at odds with this obviously.
Together, along with a delicately ample Princess and a distracted Lady and, of course the subject of this tome, Sir Staccato Feniman, comprise a tasty soup of fun and sexual intrigue. Feniman, from another court, is happily immune to truths of any kind, is rather dull, mundane, delightfully vacant and exceedingly friendly. He is an unrealistic individual, a handsome, dapper and somewhat removed Sir. He is, through personal and inadvertent accomplishment, a Royal Knight of a slightly out-of-round table ensconced in a rather stylish castle in the Batterflatter Province, some distance away, but not far enough as far as the Queen is concerned, even though she thinks he is fun to look at. To her surprise, and further enjoyment, Feniman occasionally proposes a statement of such truth and thought that she is forced to reconsider her opinion of him.
Lord Gilbert Fash, the Attorney for the Prosecution, is trying to prove that Feniman, in concert with Lady Leyte and others, has sinned in one of the remote, but well-lit, chambers of Utapa castle, an old and venerable structure; and for this, he must be hanged. Hanged? There are those, of devious mind and purpose, who think this tossed salad of intimate engagement could prove to present the means to an end for them, and find, much to their dismay that sex, a diversion in itself, ends up on trial.
Join in the fun and let your imagination be provoked by words alone. Let the words flow and let the pictures form.
The cast of characters includes: Queen Esther Cannon of Utapa, a large, comfortable, pillow-formed monarch, who rules with a casual, almost distant manner and who prefers to allow others to set the standard and stand by it. As an example, there is her brother-in-law, Grand Duke Peter Bunting, who serves himself loyally as the Court interpreter for the Queen, just in case she does not grasp something which is quite often. He has an eye for the women of Utapa, who have an eye on his position regardless of how uncomfortable it may prove to be. He is a man of positions, and no one trusts him, not even the Queen.
For legal purposes, there is also a whimsical, rather off-handed official, Lord Patrick Plum, the Attorney for the Defense, who has been known to let some factors "slide" in some cases, if not all. There is also the bovine Princess Agatha, the daughter of the Queen who serves as a Witness for the Prosecution but is not sure why. Doctor Sir John Sagbee is an Expert Witness to serve as an expert on the subject of sex,, which he attempts to define.
There is Mister Jamison Deutel, the Court Stenographer and very thin Scribe who coincidentally serves loyally as the apple of Princess Agatha's blurry eye, believed to be the right and not the left which lollies about on its own occasionally. Lastly, there is Lord Barnaby Fuzzle, the Bishop of Utapa and Prime Minister of Beliefs and Religions who speaks to the ethical and proper ways and means of the Court. Let the trial begin, more or less.
