James wandered along the hallway.

     Voices were heard.

       "So, I 'ear there's a thief in 'ur Manor" a Lady said.

       "A Thief" Lady Edwina said.

       "Did he steal anything?" Lady Margaret asked.

       "'E was ordered to steal 'em from the orders of Sir Charles. 'E won't let up" Lady Edwina said.

        "I'M NOT A THIEF M'LADY; I'M A COLLECTOR!" James raised his voice, "and the idea of criminal behavior is outrageous! Now, please apologise before I..." James said, but Lady Edwina grabbed him by the throat with her right hand, hard.

          "And will you kill me?" Lady Edwinda asked, threateningly.

          "Why will I. I won't be talked so like that M'Lady" James grabbed a large candlestick in his right hand, and said in a strong voice, adding:

            "If you threaten me M'Lady, I'll cave in your skull without thinking of it. Besides, I don't like violence, but I will defend my honor that you've slighted in front of these demon Ladies. How badly you've inflicted upon your family by offending a human", James said.

            He put the candlestick away, and smiled knowing that he had the upper hand over the evil demon Lady.
