Dear Grandfather;

Thanks to your warning, we were able to intercept some of the steam/fire dragons as they wandered through New Babbage - although, to be fair, most of them were immediately drawn to the fires set by Miss Carver for her celebrations. She was a most gracious hostess and feted them with enough cake and cookies that the majority were soon loaded back into crates; bloated with goodies, and ready to be transported back home.

Dear Uncle;

Thank you for the most recent delivery of boxes to my shop. I understand that you've been working with Grandfather as of late; I hope he has gotten over the delusion that you are his great-great-grandson from the future. I must admit, the first few times you locked him in the water closet, claiming to be preparing to transmit him to the 21th century must have been fun, but all good things must come to an end. If you could, perhaps, point him towards improving my current condition, I… Continue
