"Sire,
I beg your indulgence, my liege, to have recognizance of my advice to thee. I have it in my gift to grant to you possession of a most wondrous particular: The Lost Crown of England. May my vitals be torn from my living belly if this be not true.
Write to me, do not tarry, my liege. All I ask as a reward is that you touch my scrofulous and most foul body to cure me of the King's Evil. 'Tis this unholy affliction that doth condemn me to endure such cruel incarceration in this most cursed place: The Asylum of Rampton.
May the Almighty anoint thee with blessings.
I am, sire, but a humble and unworthy petitioner,
Lawrence Krill"
The spirit of the Middle Ages lives on.

LOL!
Haven't read an Adrian Mole book for years, though a long time ago I did read the one she wrote about the Royal family having to move into a council house.
Queen Camilla is that book so you have read this!
I loved it !
You have read the book as well? I am reading it right now so maybe you should post a blog entry on it.
er...I loved the fragment you posted above. I might write a review if I find the book, though.
Have just finished reading the book - thank you! I enjoyed it more than I thought I would - and it's good to see that Lawrence Krill did indeed have in his possession a crown, and he did meet Royalty in the end!
Anyone who can write such a stirring letter deserves some kind of reward. And I guess Susan Townsend did not anticipate that William would indeed choose Kate.
