The Sabre (Dance?)

"I know this is a picture of warfare in the past but it gives me the creeps" said Pickle. "Those swords look sharp and I can see our lot looking like chopped onion and only fit for French Onion Soup which I understand is a great favourite with Canadians". "Well" said Pearl "What are we going to do about it?". "Keep our heads down". said Pickle, "Anyway, next Saturday we have to be back in Stittsville to take part in the "Parade of Lights for Christmas". "What's that" asked Pearl, "I'll tell you next time", said Pickle.
