References to the Lord Gryphon in Paislian Literature:

Excerpt from The Original Ballad of Paisley Glen:
"As the group left the pub, they heard from above
Plummeting after a vigorous shove
And landing before them, hard on the ground
The character, Gryphon, sat, looking around
He'd failed, it had seemed, in wooing a maid
And it was lucky that Paisley had come to his aid
Amarantha the midwife rendered him healed
And he vowed then and there to hold Paisley Glen's Shield
And went with the group, over mountain and field."

Excerpt from The New, Improved Ballad of Paisley Glen:

"And with a sudden screaching fall came Gryphon, from above
And without reason (or much sense) he vowed unending love

The fellow vowed right then and there to carry Paisley's shield
And followed our good travellers over mountain, hill and field."

Excerpt from The Original Tale of Paisley Glen:

"As they left the pub with Poppy, a strange character in black fell from a window above and onto the ground. His name was Gryphon and apparently, he had been wooing a married lady in the window he fell from. Gryphon had been injured and refused the "Magic" of Orgasmo to heal him. Madame Butterscotch had healed him instead and from then on, he pledged his allegiance to the Lord and Lady, and especially Madame Butterscotch, and swore to protect them.

As they all turned to leave the country and get on the boat from Ireland, Gryphon fell more ill than he had seemed previously when he took his fall from the window. The Lord and Lady tried to take him to a healer, but all of their places of business were closed and they wouldn't offer their business to a bunch of ragamuffins.

The three were about to lose hope when a kindly woman-healer named Olive came from out of nowhere and healed Gryphon. Gryphon fell temporarily in love with the fair skinned, red-headed beauty, but realized it could never be. After this, the Lord Turnpike begged the talented healer Olive to come with them. She said she would, claiming she had nothing better to do."
