King Freddie was worried about the Patron saint. George was claiming an Extra Sixpence a week for having successfully undertaken a mission in Scotland when King Duncan had demanded the return of his sporran. 'He says you promised to raise the matter in parliament,' Freddie said to Prime Minister Merlin. 'I would like to,' said Merlin, 'but first George must account for that bag of golden sovereigns he took with him.' 'How much did he bring back?' 'Nothing! He says he ran out of money in Bowness, near Lake Windermere, and we had to arrange for an emergency payment of his salary from the local treasury.'
