A big thank you to Phil Ambler who had adjudged my episode 17 of The blacksmith's wife as last week's winner. The words to incorporate were averse, ink and trunk and were used as follows:
I’d extricated sovereigns and well-hid papers, ink damp-smudged, before Gabriel returned home with his brother, his arms and trunk blood-bruised from more than falling off a horse. Face less pretty too.
Unaverse to slander, he’d implied I’d satisfied until Gabriel threatened branding. He confined him tight-bound in the cellar, asking only ‘Did he lie?’ before we finally slept.
To be hauled awake too soon to harsh-grained hands at throat and thigh and Gabriel’s eyes near-blind with blood, stifled roaring from behind the cloth which gagged him.
But not so blind he did not see what his brother did to me.
This week's words - labyrinth, twin and churn - have already been incorporated into part 18 which is on the Friday Prediction page
