So, one day Count Eebertholomew was kayaking down a lazy stream. He heard his name being called (there were no other Eebertholomews around) and he turned to see a beautiful maiden clad in white gauzy sheet-like things.
"What's a Gnome to do?" he muttered to himself.
Eeb got on dry land but unfortunately his kayak went on without him. He shrugged and approached the maiden.
"Hi." He said gregariously. "I'm Eebartholomew, Eeb for short."
"I'm Mona-Lisa." She smiled mysteriously. "Mo."
"So, Mo... You hungry?"
"I could eat. Do you have any chicken?"
"Not on me but we can go hunting."
So Eeb & Mo went to a restaurant and ate chicken. Eeb reached for his wallet but Mo swiftly said "This is on me."
Eeb now felt terrible pressure to put out. Maybe he should have stayed in the kayak.
