Slack Capital
My dear Lord Avery,
It is with no small measure of concern that I find myself compelled
to write this letter. I refer to a recent bulletin posted under your
name on the town notice board in Thornwood. I could hardly believe my
eyes when I saw what some witless forger dared to pass off as the
writings of as distinguished a scholar as your good self. Of course, I
tore it down immediately. I have enclosed the offending document in
order that you might see what paranoid ravings are being passed off as
your work by this unknown miscreant.
Your faithful servant,
Prof. Stephan Jowns (DM).
Office of the Lord Avery
Dear Sir/Madam,
It has been brought to our attention that you did recently deface/
denounce/publicly destroy an official proclamation of this
Office. Your actions have been noted and your details passed to the
relevant enforcement authorities. We ask you to refrain from such
activities in future, as they are unlawful and punishable by a ten
kilig fine and up to seven days’ detention in the
stocks. Consider this an official warning.
Yours,
Rudyard Gayge
Sec’y pp
Lord Avery
