As the feast in the Great Hall came to a close, our Lady Joan Mastodon stood up and recited Tennyson:
She left the web, she left the loom //
She made three paces thro' the room //
She saw the water-flower bloom, //
She saw the helmet and the plume, //
She look'd down to Camelot. //
Out flew the web and floated wide; //
The mirror crack'd from side to side; //
'The curse is come upon me,' cried //
The Lady of Shalott. //Damn all towers, our Lady exclaimed, to the approving murmur of the assembled knights. The curse is on the tower, not on Elaine. Toot and you shall live.
There was buzz in the Great Hall. Sir Juniper started reciting the whole poem, but he was ignored. The knights rose, "Toot and you shall live", they cheered again and again. Our Lady Joan smiled.
