(urth) Rose the Graced not Rose the Chaste

[Dave Lebling]

It is just as well that the maze was not the Hampton Court maze, as that 
one is easy enough to solve even if you aren't armed and dangerous. My 
wife and I did it fairly quickly in 1988, although it appears from the 
link that it may have been modified since then.

Were I to conceal a concubine in a maze, I'd pick a more complex one.
