I'm so glad that you all loved Castle on a Cloud. It's my favorite song in all of Les Miserables. When I was a sophomore I was in the musical. I played Cosette when she was a young adult. I hope you all love this chapter. I was singing the song while I was writing it.:D

Chapter 14

Master of the House

After Aria ran to the woods to fetch some water from the well like she was told to, Gollum stormed over to another creature that was looked like him. That one's name was Smeagol. When Gollum was at his feet, he kicked them hard that it woke him up even with words that Gollum said to him. "Wakey, wakey. We're opening." That was when soldiers of Gondor, Rohan, Mordor, Isengard, Minas Morgul, men of Bree, dwarves of Erebor, and elves of Mirkwood came for food, drink, and to stay the night. The orcs and men will often fight or drink with the elves and dwarves. People came in and one by one Smeagol and Gollum gave them a welcome that will turn out to be a empty pocket in the end. This is when the two creatures began their time to rob the people of Bree.

(Smeagol)

Welcome, M'sieur

Sit yourself down

And meet the best innkeeper in town

As for the rent

All of them crooks

Rooking their guests and cooking the books

Seldom do you see

Honest men like me

A gent of good intent who's content to be

Master of the House

Doling out the charm

Ready with an handshake and an open palm

Tells a saucy tale

Makes a little stir

Customers appreciate a bon-viveur

Glad to be a friend of favour

Doesn't cost me to be nice

But nothing gets you nothing

Everything has got a price

Master of the House

Keeper of the zoo

Ready to relieve 'em of a sou or two

Watering the wine

Making up the weight

Pickin' up their knick-knacks when they can't see straight

Everybody loves a landlord

Everybody's bosom friend

I do whatever pleases

Jesus, won't I bleed 'em in the end

(Smeagol, Men, Elves, Dwarves, and Orcs)

Master of the House

Quick to catch your eye

Never wants a passer-by to pass by

Servant to the poor

Butler to the great

Comforter, philosopher and lifelong mate

Everybody's boon companion

Everybody's chaperone

(Smeagol)

But lock up your valises

Jesus, won't I skin you to the bone

[Sauron comes in the inn]

(Smeagol)

Enter, M'sieur

Lay down your load

Unlace your boots and rest from the road

This weighs a ton

Travel's a cruse

But here we strive to lighten your purse

Here the goose is cooked

Here the fat is fried

And nothing's overlooked till I'm satisfied

Food beyond compare

Food beyond belief

Mix it in a mincer and pretend it's beef

Kidney off a horse

Liver off a cat

Filling in the sausages with this and that

Residents are more than welcome

Bridal suit is occupied

Reasonable charges plus some little extras on the side

Charge 'em for the lice

Extra for the mice

Two per cent for looking in the mirror twice

Here a little slice

There a little cut

Three per cent for sleeping with the windows shut

When it come to fixing prices

There are lots of tricks he knows

How it all increases

All them bits and piaces

Jesus, it's amazing how it grows

(Smeagol, Men, Elves, Dwarves, and Orcs)

Master of the House

Quick to catch your eye

Never wants passer-by to pass him by

Servant of the poor

Butler to the great

Comforter, philosopher, life-long mate

Everybody's boon companin

Gives 'em everything he's got

(Smeagol)

Dirty bunch of geezers

Jesus, what a sorry little lot

(Gollum)

I used to dream that I will meet a prince

But God Almighty, have you've seen what's happened since?

"Master of the House"

Isn't worth me spit

"Comforter, philosopher" and lifelong shit

Cunning little brain

Regular Voltaire

Thinks he quiet a lover but there's not much there

What a cruel trick of natrue

Landed me with such a louse

God knows how I've lived with this bastard in the house

(Smeagol, Men, Elves, Dwarves, and Orcs)

Master of the House

(Gollum)

Master and a half

(Smeagol, Men Elves, Dwarves, Orcs)

Comforter, philosopher

(Gollum)

Don't make me laugh

(Smeagol, Men, Elves, Dwarves, Orcs)

Servant to the poor

Butler to the great

(Gollum)

Hypocrite and toady and inebriate

(Smeagol, Men, Elves, Dwarves, and Orcs)

Everybody bless the landlord

Everybody bless his friend

(Smeagol)

Everybody raise a glass

(Gollum)

Raise it up to the master's arse

(Gollum, Smeagol, Men, Elves, Dwarves, and Orcs)

Everybody raise a glass to the Master of the House!

The night was long as Gollum and Smeagol were stealing from every one. Even Sauron the Lord of Mordor. Meanwhile at the well, Aria was fetching the water when someone came up to her.

There's chapter 14. I hoped you all enjoyed. I was singing this song and watching the movie at the same time I was writing this chapter and I was at this song in the movie.:)
