Feet

This all has to do with a certain Thursday that has something significant about it that makes it different to other Thursdays, where the King has to wash the feet of as many beggars as he is old. (for example if he was 32, he'd have to wash 32 pairs of feet.) This is not in use anymore. But it was used during this time.

When King Edward was preparing for his wedding to Princess Lenora of Scotland, she appointed me as one of her ladies in waiting, under the king's recommendation. It was an arranged marriage, and Edward wasn't too keen on it.
One day, while preparing Princess Lenora's gloves, I split
