Chapter 81: Suzette, the Lonely Barmaid
Suzette, the Lonely Barmaid, lives in the little town of Sedgewick. She was a foundling child found in the Hollywood under an old sassafrass tree and given to a local tavern keeper to raise as his own. As she grew to maturity, so did her beauty increase year by year, and it became as obvious as her pointed ears that her origins were beyond the hedge.
It is said that in her youth she was taught the secrets of brewing beer by a one legged dwarf from Bimbledown. The dwarf bragged that no one could beat him at darts. Suzette wagered seven years of labor against his knowledge of beer, and the dwarf taught her what he knew once she had beaten him in three rounds.
She slings beer by day and at night practices her secret brewing. Many have sought her hand, but she refuses all. The man she loves fears he is not worthy of her, and the two dance around each other, never quite speaking their hearts, to amusement of the old grannies who watch over the village.
Some have whispered she has secrets. That an old door in her tavern leads to riches and death far below. But you won't be getting that tale from her for less than a coin of gold!
