This is my 9-year-old Granddaughters' version:
One day, when The sun was scorching hot, a pious monk was sitting on a bench in his woolly sweater. This was a strange thing to do considering that it was boiling hot. A woman got curious so she went up to see what the matter was. The monk said that the problem was that he had made himself a new sweater and tried it on but it appeared the needle was still attached and had threaded itself through to his religious clothes and now it was stuck to him on this baking hot day. "A stimy indeed, agreed the woman", agreed the woman, so she had a go at trying to pull it off. After a lot of shoving and shifting she had one more shift and the sweater popped off. Then the monk had a celebration dance. He was so happy that he asked the woman out for a game of whist.
This is my version:
The thing about Edward is that, despite his outward pious appearance, he could react in a threatening manner if provoked. For example, when playing cards, if his opponent made a move that would stimy him, he was known to explode with anger and knock over the table and storm off. Even in the mild-mannered game of whist the other players would try to shift the focus of the game from the importance of winning to the enjoyment of the game in order to avoid being on the receiving end of Edward's flare-ups.
