A Brief Speech
I have called you altogether for a Purpose. Indeed, for two Purposes.
First of all, I want to tell you that I am immensely fond of you all, and that 1592 days is too short a time to messageboard amongst such excellent and admirable Halofirians.
I don't know half of you half as well as I should like; and like less than half of you half as well as you deserve.
Secondly and finally, I wish to make an ANNOUNCEMENT. I regret to announce that -- though as I said 1592 days is far too short a time to spend among you -- this is the END. I am going. I am leaving NOW. GOOD-BYE!

You must remember his rank when speaking of this, vison.
“There, peeping among the cloud-wrack above a dark tor high up in the mountains, Sam saw a white star twinkle for a while. The beauty of it smote his heart, as he looked up out of the forsaken land, and hope returned to him. For like a shaft, clear and cold, the thought pierced him that in the end the Shadow was only a small and passing thing: there was light and high beauty for ever beyond its reach.”

Just popping into ask, nobody would happen have a really ripe 35- or 40-pound salmon lying around, would they?
If you do, could you ship it to "The Other Marshals," c/o the Hall of Fire, by UPS Ground? Thanks ever so much!
Though it's OK if you want to wait for the weather to warm up a little more.

Well, sometimes it's just got to be the Salmon of Correction.

If there was anything that depressed him more than his own cynicism, it was that quite often it still wasn't as cynical as real life.

Strategic of you to show up just now, when I'm saving up my ammo.

Well the gig is up. Tricksy Primula had to go post good news in the Parlour that I couldn't help to respond to. My apologies to anyone who was worried that it was really true. Except Prim and nel, who should have known better.
