We could not allow Ryder to get away with his plan.  So while my friend bravely offered himself up in the same way as Sidney Carton did in Mr Dickens’ “A Tale of Two Cities”, I would carry the jewel in my crop to Covent Garden, where we hoped that someone else would unravel our story and trap the thief.

This is bravery of the finest order:-)

Mr Dickens would be proud.

Well done!

Thank you.

And I apologise for my brain, which has visions of a goose saying "It is a far far better thing than I have ever done before."

It was certainly the image that I had in my head after reading your words:-)

O_O I'll never look at geese the same way again. What heroism!

I'm not usually a fan of geese, but these were clearly out of the ordinary.

Very heroic and brave geese, indeed!

[thesmallhobbit.livejournal.com]

Very true!

A, a brave goose indeed! And I love your drawing the allusion to the identical pair in A Tale of Two Cities and the two barred-tailed geese. :-D Brava!

Thank you. I'm delighted you liked the Dickens reference.

Thank you. *bows*

It is a far, far better thing that the goose did than it had ever done, and this gem of a tale has given me the best of times! *wild applause*

Thank you. I'm delighted you enjoyed it.

Wow, those are some valiant geese! And such bravery to stop a thief from stealing human jewelry! We should make them guard animals. :)

As recommended by the Romans, of course.
