The Scarlet Pimpernel Read - Aloud: Week 3


Sink me, Madmoiselles et Monsieurs!  


It's week 3 already!  How's your week been?  Any new projects or challenges?  

I (Katherine) have a "commission" to decorate a cake for a friend's daughter's birthday next week, so I just tested a cake recipe out the other day for the first time....with mixed results!  Three quarters of the household here at Green Gables gave it a most favorable report while the remaining quarter....well...let's just say they did not agree. 😃  So, I think I'm going to plan to try to find one more recipe to test out before deciding which one I'll choose to use, so stay tuned!  If I can get my act together, I can perhaps create a "Cake Castles" post and show you the end results!


But what is all this talk about refreshments? We have a book to read, do we not?  


Without further ado, it gives me great pleasure to introduce.....oh, yeah....ouselves.....


* A quick note about this weeks intro... You may have noticed that these past 2 week's videos opened with a "funny sketch" type thing. First, it was a "news flash" on a radio show called "Literary News" hosted by a Camilla McGinnis, next a scene of our Sidney character discovering that the Maidens had outsmarted The Librarian once again. *If you are new to our blog and haven't "met" Sidney or The Librarian yet, please refer to "The Librarian Files" on our Writers Corner page of the blog :)*  And now this week, we bring you another "Literary News" radio show segment. This segment (entitled "Sail That Ship" ) is a discussion forum for Canon and Non-Canon Ships. 
So, hopefully the above sheds some light and explains what in the world you have been listening to in the beginnings of our videos! 
We hope you enjoy this video's intro sketch and laugh as much as we did when we put it together!! *


See you on the other side!!






Here are this week's Scarlet Pimpernel Inspired Collages.....we just can't stop making these :)



Fare thee all well till next week!


Love, Katherine & Grace
