Hi Denis and Bex! (Thurs @ 11:45 AM, EST)

I really like your 'possible' answers to "What did the mother say?", Bex. WOW! I like #3, LOL! (surely they must be hungry after 'wandering aimlessly for days end)!

OK, Denis...I have a possible answer from my husband.

1) "The King has already died. So they rush back to get the Throne position!"

I find it interesting that you have underlined the word, "LAST"....also I find it intriguing, by the fact, that you stated, "their wise mother for advice", rather than "The Queen Mother???

I await my brother's reply and another friend's input.

The suspense is driving me 'bonkers'! LOL! Have we answered it correctly thus far? Thanks, Denis. Blessings, Abishag
