'Are you sure you want to take them with you?' Norma asked.
'Well, they need to be detained for the safety of the law abiding public...and One does have plenty of spare dungeons......and it is One's hubby's birthday soon and was hasn't got him a prezzie yet.'
'I'm not sure you can wrap a pirate sheep?'

'And, despite my wariness about them, you won't be putting the lambs in a dungeon will you?'
'Not if they promise to behave. I did think they could help Norman with washing the castle windows. They are about the size of a sponge.'
