To my Gentle Readers,
My most humble and sincere apologies for any consternation that may have been caused by this lull in my yarn. A story teller’s obligation is to tell the tale. And in this respect I have been sadly distracted by those duties that I have taken upon myself in connection with our most noble forum. One other factor that has indeed contributed my negligence is a sad lack of that “Dutch Courage” ( being the moniker so given of that wondrous drink) that so many a brave English man-at-arms was so taken with during their time in Holland in days of old. I have insured that my provisions of this most necessary ingredient for that preparation of vermouth, gin, and small pickled onion is well stocked. Thus inspired by this concoction I promise to continue my tale and note that as I traveled by rail through the American South West I did not do so unaccompanied. For indeed I was joined in this quest by two gentlemen from our fellowship who also were invited to prove their worth at the League of the Moderators.
Your most humble servant
P.
