KNIGHTIE --
a story of one sentence
Once upon a time there was a tall, dark and handsome young man who
was dubbed Knightie by the monarch herself one night, but her
ladies-in-lurking, who feared his lording it over their mistress,
because they would rather see her queening it over him, betrayed the
poor fellow, after which he was sentenced to a hundred and one
years' imprisonment, a time to be wholly served in a gaol for male
homosexual republicans.
