#janet (fixing her lipstick): 'a monster in the roses you say
Text
I like the Anais Mitchell version of Tam Lin just fine and it's very fun to sing and it includes my favorite Janet line ("There's none among your gentlemen that I would treat so well") HOWEVER the story of Janet and Tam Lin is unquestionably MUCH funnier if Janet has been explicitly warned not to go to Carterhaugh because of Tam Lin, specifically.
Absolutely everyone ever: "Don't go to Carterhaugh because there is a creature in the roses who will either kill you or seduce you and those odds aren't great." Janet: "Well, hell, I've got a free afternoon." Absolutely everyone ever: "You don't? You have chores?" Janet, already tying her kirtle up: "Chores are for chumps, if I don't come back I'm either dead or kidnapped, catch you later."
