Chapter
Ballad: Sir Macklin
Sir Macklin appears early in the narrative, a figure robed in authority and armed with unshakable moral principles. A priest by vocation and a crusader by temperament, he sees himself as the final defense against the creeping tide of Sabbath disregard. His gaze is firmly fixed on three carefree young men—Tom, Bob, and Billy—whose weekend jaunts through the city’s green spaces strike him as emblematic of all that is wrong with modern society. Their laughter rings through Kensington, their…-

Ballad: Sir Guy The Crusader
Sir Guy The Crusader begins with a portrait of a powerful warrior shaped by battle, celebrated for his loyalty to Richard the Lionheart and for his ferocity in campaigns across distant lands. He was not merely a knight of muscle but also a man of impulsive feeling, drawn into matters of the heart with as much force as he entered the fray of war. This duality—the hero in armor and the man swept by emotion—drives the narrative as he encounters a woman whose beauty transcends borders and allegiances.…-

Ballad: Sir Barnaby Bampton Boo
Sir Barnaby Bampton Boo begins his quest for a bride with the pomp and confidence befitting the last of his distinguished line. As he arrives in the small town of Tuptonvee, whispers swirl among the hopeful families eager to align themselves with nobility. Women compete in subtle ways—adjusting bonnets, rehearsing graces, and pressing their daughters forward in Sunday-best smiles. Yet it is the home of Mr. and Mrs. De Plow that draws Sir Barnaby’s particular interest, thanks to their pastoral…-

Ballad: Phrenology
Phrenology appears in this ballad not as a mere scientific curiosity, but as the pivot around which justice, or the lack of it, hilariously turns. The storyline introduces Sir Herbert, who is clearly aggrieved after a physical assault. He expects the machinery of law to respond swiftly and firmly, as any wronged gentleman would. However, the policeman’s surprising devotion to cranial analysis swiftly alters the path of justice. His belief that a man's skull shape can override eyewitness testimony exposes…-

Chapter
Ballad: Peter The Wag
Peter The Wag found joy not in enforcing the law with stern authority, but in coloring his duties with mischief and mirth. A constable by uniform yet a jester by nature, Peter made his beat into a stage for playful deceit. Those who turned to him for the time received an answer far from accurate, often an hour too soon or too late, depending on his mood. When asked for directions, he responded with conviction, sending travelers off in curious loops and far-flung paths. While some giggled at the unexpected…-

Chapter
Ballad: Pasha Bailey Ben
Pasha Bailey Ben stands tall—figuratively more than literally—as a ruler surrounded not by fear or formality but by delightfully strange rituals and even stranger companions. His ten tails, each a symbol of pride, sway in rhythm with a palace life ruled less by logic and more by whimsical surprises. Presents pour in from grateful pilgrims: a mix of onions, scented candles, cold beef, and items so disconnected in purpose they resemble a child’s dream more than diplomatic tribute. Among them are white…-

Ballad: My Dream
My Dream tells of a fantastical place where logic is reversed, and the world functions in perfect contradiction to our own. The narrator finds themselves in Topsy-Turveydom, a land where everything familiar has been flipped on its head. In this strange land, evil is applauded while virtue is frowned upon, and dishonesty earns reward rather than punishment. The people celebrate foolishness and look upon intelligence with suspicion. Rules, expectations, and traditions seem deliberately confused, yet the…-

Chapter
Ballad: Mister William
Mister William begins his tale not as a villain but as a model of propriety, admired by neighbors and respected by peers. For years, his life flowed without turbulence—kind, thoughtful, and honest to a fault. Yet even a life so spotless began to itch with curiosity. He questioned whether a single lapse into wrongdoing might not ruin him but instead round out his understanding of life. To him, sin was like a dash of salt in a bland soup—a seasoning, not a stain. Dismissing petty crimes as vulgar, he…-

Ballad: Lost Mr. Blake
Lost Mr. Blake reveals a witty tale of contradiction, where a man known more for sin than sanctity becomes the unexpected focus of a religious woman’s reformist heart. Mr. Blake, neither cruel nor dishonest, simply finds no charm in the trappings of institutional piety. He smokes on Sundays, scoffs at clerical debates, and gives alms only when it suits his humor or benefits someone directly. Rules, especially those dressed in lace and liturgy, do not sway him. He lives according to his own logic—a…-

Chapter
Ballad: Lorenzo De Lardy
Lorenzo De Lardy enters the tale not as a dashing hero untroubled by worldly concerns, but as a man tangled in charm, debt, and schemes of romance. Dalilah De Dardy, long past the bloom of youth yet wealthy and eager for companionship, finds herself utterly enamored with this smooth-talking guardsman. Her affection is evident, but Lorenzo, despite his polished boots and noble lineage, is more drawn to solving his monetary problems than embracing the hand of a woman offering security. Instead of building a…-
