Esteemed Courier Editors,
I know where the French Trader is... he is hiding from this deluded woman who claims having lived a past life as a French Fleur ... furthermore, Fleur professed to love everything French, and the poor Trader took off to hiding in the bushes...
However my understanding is that this French Fleur only likes rich Frenchies, like the esteemed Montcalm, although I heard her confessing that even Montcalm doesn't have enough pearls and diamonds for her. She was just under the mistaken notion that Montcalm had helped himself to the loot from the departing English from Fort William Henry.
However, thanks to some intrepid and in-depth reporting, Montcalm's reputation has been cleared, and Flurry-headed F.Fleur is out on the lookout for "good-looking" (like Uncas) rather than "deep-pocketed."
Cordially, Winking Willow
