I must admit to being powerfully curious.

My Dear Jeri...

What an ADVENTCHA! My, but you certainly paid close attention to Heloise's advice, didn't you? And now you have one sparkling shiny piece of glass, and a raging curiosity. But, in addition to my portfolio of Helpful Hints, I also have an UNCOMMON amount of very COMMON sense. And it tells me that a young lady such as yourself would do better to buy another bar of Grandma's LyeSoap, and forget sneakin' back down to that lake. After all, the loincloth in question has served its purpose and NO GOOD can come of you peeking and prying around in someone else's PRIVATE matters. (Oh, my, Heloise! You are SUCH a punster!) So you just hie thee on down to Mervin's Meretricious Mercantile & and procure your soap. If you need more advice on ways to handle your daily chores, contact me later...I'll be...ahhh...AWAY for some time this afternoon. I have some...ummm..chores to attend to. A few...err...important things I need to go take care of. But NOT down by the lake. No! Of course not! Uh-uh.

Hearty Hugs,
Heloise of the Hurons
