: : Notice to Mohicanland
: : The Geneaology Department of the Town Library has recently acquired some startling new material which will knock the socks off - - excuse me, FASCINATE citizens who have been under the impression that we live in a world of ordinary people. You just never know who your neighbors are until you do some reading or see a good movie.
: : Since demand for this new material will undoubtedly cause the prospect of a Beanie Baby riot to draw only a passing yawn and bribery to reach new heights thus far unachieved in Mohicanland, the Library requests that you ask the desk clerk to add your name to the official waiting list in an orderly manner. Please refrain from trampling your friends and neighbors to death getting to the desk.
: : Miss Gaylee Cooper
: : Town Librarian
: ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
: Good day to you, Miss Gaylee,
: I read with much interest your Notice which you had pinned up to the door of the Town Library.
: Now, we ARE friends, are we not, having supped together (beg pardon, SIPPED, Miss, SIPPED!) tea at Miss Marcia's? And friends CAN share information, can they not? So - hows about sharing 'the dirt'... sorry, the 'fascinating' material that has come your way? Now you know me, Miss Gaylee, the very soul of discretion!! I do know when to 'button my lip' as it were!!
: But of course, I'm not in the least surprised to hear there are skeletons in many of our neighbour's cabins, Miss!! Well, there are truly some unsavoury characters ambling around this neck o' the woods! Why some as wear nothing but two pieces of cloth attached to a bit string around their wastes - and a smile!! Others smelling of new cut hair and scalp! And as for that Sheriff Benton (just call me Bent)Twigg, the amount of eau de toilet water he splashes over himself when visiting Miss Marcia, well, one has to ask oneself, 'what is that man trying to hide?' Yes, it can be rather disturbing to a gentlewoman of my European high breeding, dontcha know!! Oh yes, Miss, Mohicanland is indeed very generously abounding with bounders, not to mention salacious characters!! So - come on, give!! Who and what are we talking about here!!!
: Now you wouldn't have a friend have to do anything so unseemly as to put her name on 'an official waiting list', surely?! Why not come along to my little establishment, where we could take tea (OK, maybe something stronger if you insist!) and you could tell me ALL about them - it!!
: Now I really MUST just pop along over to Miss Marcia's! I'm SURE there is something I want to tell her! I mean - something she wants to tell ME!
: Now, do come and join me for that tea, Miss Gaylee!
: I remain, your most trustworthy friend,
: Miss Katie,
: Miss Kate's Quilt Shoppe. (just a wee plug, dontcha know!)

OK - perhaps you can fault my spelling - wastes, waists, what's the difference!! But I STILL say - you cannot fault my blood lines!! Hmmph!!
