Just for the sake of historical accuracy, the guy who made off with Praise's panties found them while pushing a pushbroom through the Mudcat Tavern the morning after Praise's ... umm..adventures in the Jello pit. They came up on the broom, which dislodged them from behind a potted plant or something in the corner...that's all. He merely thought the courteous thing to do would be to run them up the flagpole for the whole county to salute. An exercise in propriety of scale, you might say.

So don't be casting aspersions about anyone making off with them. I also notice you declined a gentlemanly attempt to return them to you! Now there's a twist to get your knickers into! Usually a lady has to decline the reverse effort!
