The day at your shop is filled with a flurry of activity. Ladies you recognize from the court of Elizabeth R are excited and chatting about the day's events. One of them tells you how about a surprise gift that awed the crowd and broke the stoic face of the Queen for one small moment. There was an announcement of a gift from France, a pair of gloves made by a famous gloving house in Grenoble. You can see in your mind's eye the beautiful craftsmanship that she describes them in the minutest detail and the please look upon the Queen's face. These came from the man we all know as her little ugly dog.

You whisk yourself away to the back of your shop and begin to draft up a pattern from her description hoping the guild does not notice your work once it is done. If found out your work will be burned and you will be accused of making unlawful gloves.

And so it begins, your journey into the world of glove making in the Elizabethan world.
