How do, Miss Shassy... er, Sashy...eh... Hi!!
Now, I can't reveal my sources, but - 'the Wench' was telling me that your good self and 'She...' are planning to invite the Tax Collector' out to Bumppo's tonight, for a wee celebration. Seems he's turned a fair profit in Mohicanland this week - and you and 'She...' aim to drink to his success with a little... okay - a HUMUNGOUS jug o' 'Sassy's Special', liberally laced with a heapin' helpin' of 'She...'s Spruce Surprise'!! Would that be a fair summation of the situation??
Well, having been a recent recipient of this monster's devious dealings, I would be exceedingly happy if I could contribute to the success of the evening!!!
Do you remember that time when I had the 'crook tummy' and the 'runny guts'??? Well, I got THE MOST VILE, THE MOST FOUL medicine I have ever had the misfortune to taste!!! And - I just happened to spill a little on my kitchen floor - did I tell you I have a second entrance to my fruit cellar, now?? Well, Doc Mary said 'Take a little swig o' this but remember - things will get a dam.. darn sight WORSE, before they get better'.
Well, as it happens, I NEVER DID get very far through that bottle... (started getting a little nervous about it when some dribbled down the bottle and stripped the paint off my cupboard!) and I THOUGHT... well now, I think this may be JUST THE THING to quieten down any ill effects he may feel, from that 'Spruce-Special'!! 'If' you were to add a good measure into the mixture, well - *I* see it as helping that 'jippy tummy' he's bound have in the morning... and 'prevention IS better than cure'!! Just one question - can *I* be the one to tell him that it will get A DAM... DARNED SIGHT WORSE BEFORE IT GETS BETTER???!!!
Your fri'nd,
Miss Katie.
