Shelby's a three-striper (that's one P folks, not two)

Shelby passed her fencing test today, so she is now a three-stripe apprentice, which is the top level apprentice. When she passes her next test, she'll be a musketeer. Passing her test meant being able to perform the "disengage" maneuver, to go along with her previously mastered skills of advance, retreat, parry, and riposte. If all this seems confusing to you, you can check out a fencing glossary.
