Sooth, sooth....while I slept much has happened. Sundays always were strange days.
In our little Hamlet, some of us speak out more than others. This is not an indication of guilt. Also, those that speak more are useful to our initial investigations, be these speakers guilty or innocent. Why, you ask? An innocent speaker is active and will bring forth reaction from others. And if they are eventually found to be guilty, and have said much, we can examine their thoughts retrospectively, while a taciturn wolf leaves a most unrewarding body of evidence behind him.
Nor is quietness an indication of guilt. Even in these dreadful times there may be duties a villager must carry out which keeps them away from this place where are opinions are heard, particularly at what my foresight tells me our descendants will call "a weekend."

Mithalwen and Gurthang are speakers, and for the reasons stated above I would be reluctant to lose them so soon.
Is it too late to save one or the other? Perhaps. But of those who have put forth their reasoning here, I am inclined to agree with Mormegil and dancing spawn. But who to vote for? I am inclined to abstain as I do not like to send what would, under the laws of probability, almost certainly be an innocent to his/her death but this death will happen whether I will it or no and to sit out is the act of a coward.
To cast a vote at this stage for someone who has not yet garnered any votes at all, is also a way of avoiding responsibility, I fear. At the moment, looking after what has been said and done, I suppose it is Captain of Despair who I am most suspicious of, but there is little point casting a vote for him.
So making my choice from those who have already received votes I will cast my vote for

PS Mr Saucie, I would absolve Laitaine from your Miner's List of the Silent. Composing all one's replies in verse takes time, I suspect!
