: Dear Courier Editors,
: Thank you from the bottom of my heart for bringing the lovely, intelligent, articulate Miss Eugenie to my attention through your excellent (if somewhat colonially backward) publication.
We'll take that as a compliment ... thank you!
: I have finally found a woman I can relate to - a woman who sees things as I do - in the enlightened manner of the truly blue of blood. I wish to make her acquaintance, if it should so please her to meet a truly aristocratic American.
Are you SURE you want to do that?!?
: Is it possible you can arrange an introduction, as I feel we could burn our way into literary history together.
Mr. Funnymore ... Eugenie is a mere employee of the newspaper giant known as "The Courier." No history, literary or otherwise, will be burned through the likes of HER!. Can we interest you, perhaps, in a satirical re-telling of this ... uh ... uh ... story? THAT might have potential, IF we can arouse the slumbering interest of the rabble that loiters here in this Godforsaken land!
:I can write no more - the lace at my cuffs wilts with the heat of my pulse and smears the ink upon the page.
PIG!
: Your servant,
You bet!
: James Funnymore Cooper
Ohhhh .... still another unknown!
