: Nice, that you are enjoying your new property so much; at least one of us is having fun. I, however, am having a miserable time. Not one of the Mohicanland Traders can be found, and, on top of that, somebody has been posing as me, spreading compromising rumours about sultans and sultanas??? As if a hard working trader would have time to mess around with a zillion concubines. I do not agree with you: my commercial future does look very dim at the moment.
: Please supply me with another reading?
Otto, My Man! Straighten up & fly right (pardon the pun!) Get rid of that full of doubt look, and put on a happy face...spread sunshine all over the place, just put on a hap-py face! la, la, la...oh my, Sassy does love to warble!
You should learn to TRUST Sassy! I haven't led you astray yet. (Emphasis on the YET!) Do not pay the slightest attention to imposters or naysayers. Sultans, schmultans! Remember, it doesn't matter how you feel...it's how you LOOK that counts, and (ready???) "You...look...mahvelous!" You are ready for this Trading Game, and it is ready for YOU. All my sources tell me you will be very succesful, no matter what any old rumor-monger says.
You say you can't find the other Traders, and lies are being spread, and you don't have time for an Old Crone, let alone a zillion concubines...is that what's troubling you, Bunky??? Just never you mind. All things in good time, I always say. (I have no idea what it means, but I always say it!) Just hang in there, don't give up the ship, press on regardless, keep the faith, never say die, fight the good fight, and above all, if at first you don't succeed, try, try again! (I made all of that up...hehe)
And remember: No matter how long it takes, no matter how far, you WILL find business & become successful or my name's not Sissy Southsetter...Slippy Sumppumper...wait...Simply Stewsipper...drat! I knew it earlier!!! Well, you get my drift.
Things will be fine, I promise on a stack of Leatherstocking Tales.
Bye-bye, and Buy Bonds!
