Today our journey has reached an untimely halt. A large, winding river with extremely strong currents blocks our path, and though we have searched for a way around it, it seems to go on forever. I have no choice. Tomorrow I shall have to make an attempt to swim across, and if I am swept away young Mickey may take my place. If it will help to rescue Harriet, this will be a sacrifice I must make. I shall simply hope that Michael does not trail along (of this I have little hope.)
Sir Melchisedek R. Gnawington
Be careful! And tell little Michael to stay home! Beware little Michaels and their door-locking habits!
