By Toadflax Nosely Editor: Dear Mrs Toadflax,Hullo Master Peppy! And I am sending this to you directly instead of to the Editors as would probably be more proper since the enclosed painting is incontrovertible evidence of a certain tweenager merrily piping away despite her oft-proclaimed Dislike of Bagpipes and she is, I understand, a Co-Editor despite being Under-Age and it would be a shame to give her the opportunity to intercept this! And this painting was made on Bullroarer Took's Day this year, but of course you knew that already as you were standing right next to the aforementioned Piper. Now, if only I had already played that Song I wrote last week, I would be considered a Prophet or at least Clairvoyant and then I could set up as a Fortune-Teller and take my payment in Mushroom Pies and Get Even Thicker Real Quick! Well I shall sing it at this week's Yard Party (if I can get a quintet together) and at least I have a few witnesses that the song was written about a week before this Piping took place. But certainly this is News worthy of the Gazette and I only hope it gets to you in time that you may scoop-publish it! Sincerely, Toadflax Nosely 1 Brookbank Street Oldfurlong |
