: From "Gracious Rosethorn" on the Trail of the House of Hoo-Haa
: Dear G.C.:
: Hello! Sorry for the messy scrawl, but I'm about to embark on my trek to Hoo-Haa Heaven and am all a'twitter! I just wanted to say thanks fer the clothes, and hope my borrowin' them ain't too much of an inconvenience. You see, I'm new in town and my wardrobe's a might limited. Since my arrival in Mohicanland, things have been a bit complicated as I've gotten to know the residents and the little regional idiosyncracies-wow, quite a word for a frontiersman-er-woman! Anywho, in all the excitement I tore my bodice, my stockin's got shredded, my skirt was the victim of neglect, not to mention the unspeakably dreadful fate of my bonnet! (Boy, I hope she buys this!) So, I just wanted to say thanks fer your generosity and I'll return the aforementioned unmentionables just as soon as.....well.....things settle down!
: Yours Respectfully,
: G.R.
Well, I never! Of all the strange and bizarre things to do! I wonder why she didn't simply say that to me before she went leaping off Sheriff Twigg's front stoop and disappearing into the woods like a banshee chased by a werewolf! Do I look so intimidating as that? Do I look like someone who would eat her? Why the poor thing. Wherever can she be staying, and WHY is she headed to the House of Hoo-Haa before she's been in town even long enough to get to know that the House of Hoo-Haa is NOT a place which is visited by respectable young women wearing . . . wearing . . . MY CLOTHES!! Good gracious, people will be thinking I am keeping a female who socializes at that disreputable . . . house! I don't even know the wench, and she is going to ruin my reputation, and how will I ever face the Library Committee and and the Ladies Auxiliary at the Mohicanland House of Worship, and I'll have to resign from the position of Church Secretary and my life is a ruin and I think I feel heart palpitations coming on. I must have a cup of tea to soothe me. I wonder if I went over to Miss Marcia's if she'd give me a spot of that homemade nerve medicine she adds to her tea. Oh, what a disaster!!
