Well, ladies, now that we are warmed up and rested a bit, I say we should follow Sheriff Twigg down to Miss JayBee's house and see what is going on there. He's been gone a mighty long time. Miss Marcia, I'll just wrap this warm shawl around your shoulders, and Miss Strumpet, how about if you support her on her other side just in case she's a mite wobbly yet. Don't want her slipping in the snow and bruising that fine southern skin of hers! Miss Katie, could you grab that pot of tea and a basket of those hot scones, and we'll take them on down with us in case Miss JayBee needs some moral support. I don't know what to say about that silly hound! Appears once he gets some food in his belly, he thinks he's Superdog on Wheels, and like as not he's sledded himself down to Bumppo's Tavern lookin' for She Who Tracks. Funny that we haven't seen anything of She for some days. Sheriff Twigg doesn't seem to have a clue, and he hasn't investigated the strange bumping and gnawing sounds in the Town Library Archives yet, either. Don't know what that man' s comin' to. Seems like he has other interests than sheriffing lately, and he not worth the powder to blow him to H*ll, but there's only so much we can deal with at one time, so let's all get on down the hill and see what happened there.
