The next morning, with his trusty squire by his side, Sir Barkworth set off, not surprisingly in the wrong direction. Because he had a bit of toenail clipping in his left eye, which forced him to keep it closed, he rode in circles all day until, as night fell, they came to an inn.

‘This looks like a nice place,’ said Sir Barkworth.

‘It is indeed, my lord,’ said Nymrod.

‘Oh, you have stayed here before?’

‘Indeed, my lord, and so did you, last night.’

‘Ah. Well, yes, it is a nice place and we will stay here tonight as well.’

To make sure he wouldn’t make the same mistake again, the next morning Sir Barkworth closed his left eye and set off in the opposite direction. And it worked. After a long day’s ride they reached a magnificent castle.

‘I say, Nymrod, that’s a magnificent castle,’ said Sir Barkworth.

‘Indeed, my lord.’

‘Methinks it may be paradise,’ said Sir Barkworth. ‘For I have seen it in my dreams.’

‘In your dreams, sire?’

‘Absolutely, for how else could I have seen it?’

‘It is Camelot, my lord,’ said Nymrod.

‘Really? I never knew there were two castles with that name.’

‘There aren’t, my lord.’

And so it was that the first Royal Messenger failed in his quest, though having managed to have such a long conversation without falling off his horses did prove his motor skills were getting better every day.
