<strong>Ari</strong><br/><br/>Ari siged, hoping that her suspicions weren't true.  It certainly would put a damper on the evening.  And Garsahna had a hard enough time fitting in withoug having her papa about, storm clouds above his head.<br/><br/>She wondered if she should try to difuse the situation a little and divert peoples attentions with a song about... well, something else besides ork or troubles.  A bawdy song, perhaps, although her Bishon frowned upon his daughter knowing that sort of thing, let alone sing about it.  Perhaps a something else.  She considered it, tapping her foot against the table leg until she came up with the perfect song.  Just in time too, she thought, noticing the sillouheutte approaching the inn.  She couldn't recognize the figure, but there was no mistaking the creature that followed it, or her, in this case.  Pigglywiggly!  She smiled, thinking that pigglywiggly would have been more aptly named Brutus or Bruiser.  She just hoped he would't insist on following Gahashna into the inn!<br/><br/>With that thought, she slid off the bench, and took a moment to tap an ownerless spoon against an ale mug to get everyone's attention, before starting in on her song, her voice a clear alto that carried through the room, cutting through all the chatter.<br/><br/>One night as the moon did illumine the sky' / I first took a notion to marry<br/>I put on me hat and away I did fly / You'd have thought I'd have been in a hurry<br/><br/><br/>When I can to the place where I often had been / Me heart gave a leap when my darlin' I seen<br/>I lifted the latch and I bade her Good E'en / Will you come with me over the mountain?<br/><br/><br/>What notion is this that's got into your head / You'll make me afraid to be near you<br/>It's twelve o'clock and they're all in bed / Speak low or me mammy will hear you.<br/><br/><br/>I'm using no magic, casting no spell / I'm an honest young man and I love you right well<br/>And if you'll not have me, dear girl, farewell / I'll go back alone o'er the mountain.<br/><br/><br/>If I were to make an elopement with you / I might find myself in great danger<br/>The country would tittle and censor me too / My parents would frown and no wonder.<br/><br/><br/>Let them all tittle and censor away / Consult with yourself for it's growing near day<br/>What do we care what the country might say? / Come with me over the mountain.<br/><br/><br/>She looked at me long and she looked at me hard / She trembled a little uneasy<br/>Then wiping a tear that appeared in her eye / She said to me 'Darling, I'm ready.'<br/><br/><br/>Give me a moment til I get me shoes / Me heart gave a lep when I heard the glad news<br/>I lifted the latch saying I hope you'll excuse / Me simplicity over the mountain.<br/><br/><br/>By this time the moon had gone down in the sky / And the morning star brightly was shining<br/>We both made the journey in greatest of haste / And we were wed at the altar of hymen.<br/><br/><br/>In peace and contentment we spend our days / The anger of parents was soon blown away<br/>Often we smile when we've little to say / On the trip we took over the mountain.<br/><br/><br/><br/><br/>
