O/N: We apologise in advance for any delay in dealing with correspondence this week.  This is due to staff shortage.

Mr Escott, plumber, currently fiancé of Agatha who was until recently housemaid at Appledore Towers, if you do not contact me within the week, I will consider our engagement to be terminated.

JW, are you the middle-sized, strongly built man, square jawed, thick necked, with moustache, I have been searching for? GL.  If so, meet usual place, please bring mask.

Oh, I love that last line!

Thank you :D

Staff shortages? It's just not good enough! (:P)

Oh, Agatha - you poor kid. I do think the other chap is going to be a better bet. And there may have been a certain amount of chortling at "GL"'s advert - especially that last comment. Still waters run deep indeed... ^^

We have now remedied the situation.

We would encourage Agatha to forget about Mr Escott, we understand he is a dodgy character.

Glad to have everything back to normal ^_^

And sound advice to young Agatha.

Your broom cupboard gets quite the use! I hope there's an extra one for brooms.

It does get rather crowded at times!

Poor Aggie. Well, if it makes the other fellow step up and show some brass in declaring his intentions it's not a complete loss.

I thought GL knew who the participants were in the Appledore break-in.

[thesmallhobbit.livejournal.com]

Oh yes, GL certainly knew who was responsible. But the mask ... ;)
