Young Jeremy was new to Lady Joan Mastodon's circle. His writing was extensive and varied, often quite clumsy, and the other knights had made gentle fun of some of his toots. He was hurt.

This evening we sat together at our Lady Joan's table, enjoying her mutton stew. She had cooked it herself, saying "you will only ruin it" to anyone who offered help.

Young Jeremy addressed our Lady Joan across the table: my Lady Joan, do advise me, what is the biggest mistake one can make when posting? I want to post well.

Lady Joan's answer was quick. Trying to be cool. Don't try to be cool, my friend. Everything else follows from that.

The knights had many questions, asking for clarifications. But our Lady merely repeated that everything else would follow naturally.

When young Jeremy left the table later that evening, our Lady called him back and gave him a Tiffin Box with her stew. For your lunch tomorrow, Jeremy. Store it in the fridge and re-heat it gently.
