where the Holy Grail really was, and I don't think any
of them actually expected to find it, or would have

ditions went out holy grailing, and next year relief
expeditions went out to hunt for THEM. There was
worlds of reputation in it, but no money. Why, they
actually wanted ME to put in! Well, I should smile.
