The Cattle Drive

There is an improvement as Richard Shelton is not in it as much.

Instead the intrigue and cunning is shown by Mistress Hatch who tries to get Joanna Sedley to escape from prison.

She persuades the guard at the door that Sir Daniel Brackley looks to be on the losing side in the War of the Roses.

Richard Crookback will look favorably on anyone who helped Joanna to escape. She is his kin.

However Sir Daniel is no pushover and a dagger is not well hidden.

Although there is a plot here it still comes across as daft. Sir Daniel's men find the dagger quickly.

Could Joanna and Mistress Hatch not even hide it properly, if so what was the point in taking it!

Goofs
When the guards are trying to force open the chained castle door from the inside the 'castle wall' next to the door can be seen to wobble as they pull at the door.
