One of the best bits was ‘The Elder watches as the Liege's daughter reaches under the table and brings out a knife. With her teeth bared, she grabs a fistful of Daubert's hair, plunges the knife into his stomach and guts him like a hare …’ Truly brilliant.<br /><br />Hope you don’t mind the comments.
