Hi, FT...Sassy Soothsayer, here! Thanks for keeping us posted about the predicklement ET seems to have gotten herself into. Of course, being a Soothsayer, an' all, I already knew ALLLL about this mess, but the rest of Mohicanland enjoys hearing it from another in the Trade, as it were. Now, what I want to know is, IF the Aussies decide to take you up on your offer & KEEP the English Trader in captivity, at least through the Gathering, what kind of special deals do you promise to those of us who will be left with only YOUR goods to barter over? Will we get the best prices ever? Will we have the finest selection in the world?? Will you be able to supply those items that would have been brought by ET, had she not gotten herself in this terrible fix Down Under?? Inquiring minds and red-hot pocketbooks want to know!!
And Frenchie...(IF you really ARE French, that is...and after listening to your dulcet tones today, I have SERIOUS doubts in that regard!!)...above all else, no matter how long it takes, no matter how FAR, and even no matter what OCCURS, you're STRONG, you SURVIVE, and DO NOT SUBMIT (to customs, and/or the ABC)...BRING the PEACH BRANDY!!!
Yours Most Enchantingly,
Sassy Soothsayer
