Sentence
The Fourhundredandsixtyseventh
Little Levy Balquhidder could only
marvel at the ingenuity of his parents this weekend who, before
leaving the house - improbably named The Foreshore, being about fifty
miles inland, but literally located on the littoral north bank of the
River Tweed as it sweeps past that sandstone cliff which had been
quarried in centuries past to provide the building blocks for both
nearby Abbeys – had dressed him in tartan trews of the McLevy sett,
to attend the wedding of his Aunt Rosebud, with no regard for the
acute embarrassment this fancy-dress attire might cause an aesthete,
such as himself, who has a
very deep
sense of his own identity, developed over countless millenia, which
does not include this very public form of humiliation, in which the
only possible avenues of rebellion open to him were, after howling
mightily during the actual service in Melrose Abbey, to give the
photographer his ancient Death Stare and
filling his nappy with a particularly offensive and reekin'
jobby while
simultaneously reciting The Beatitudes
to himself in the original Hebrew, and smiling in satisfaction that
he was ensuring he would never
be able to wear these
breeks ever again!
