**Ivyslash tiptoes out of the kitchen, grinning triumphantly as she grabs a handful of candied chestnuts out of the bag she has just taken. The effects of this are, of course, disastrous. In case you havent't tried grinning widely while stuffing your face with nuts, here's what happens. Her cheeks bulge, and half the mouthful clatters on the ground. She covers her mouth** Dibbuns out of bed **Say some elders, rounding the corner. Her eyes go wide. Do they mean her??? Has she been caught??? She shrinks into the shadows, not daring to chew, not even to breathe** I'm sure I saw an empty bed abbot! **They had involved the abbot? If she is discovered out of bed, oh how she will pay. The elders pass without glancing at the alcove she is hiding in. She turns around, silently, and grips a hidden handle. This is a trapdoor that leads to the secret DAB shortcuts and tunnels. She hopes against hope that the oilers have done their job properly. She pulls, and it opens to the left. She sighs with relief** What was that?? **Comes an adult voice from up ahead. TIME TO GO!! She thinks. In her hurry to close the trapdoor, and make sure that she is safe, the hinge squeaks. She races through the tunnels, turning left and right, left an right, going uphill for most of the time. She knows these passages like the back of her hand. Finally she comes to the trapdoor in her dorm. It swings open. Using her comon sense, she leaves the chestnuts in the tunnel. She jumps into bed, pulls the covers up and pretends to be asleep. She is very good at this, and has had lots of practise. The door creaks open. The abbot sticks his head in** You must've been mistaken Friar, their all asleep like little angels. But don't worry, anyone could have mistaken a little body for a couple of pillows. I know I have! **Once they are well gone, Ivy heavs a sigh of relief. She has done it. Friar found her, but she had beat him back to bed. The next night, Naughty Knot has a large feast, which consists of:Candied Chestnuts, Candied Chestnuts, and, just for a little change, Candied Chestnuts.
