Alice: Wow! Dill: That's my brothers' latest trebuchet. Dill: It won the blue ribbon in Ancient War Machines at the country fair! Alice: Your mom must be proud of your brothers. Dill: she was, till they launched the dining room furniture into the neighborhood pool.

If you’re near Bucks County, PA, you can see a working 16-foot-tall trebuchet at http://www.villagefaire.org on September 19–20. (King Hengist is invading Arthur’s kingdom, so there will be plenty of Saxon violence.)
