'My darling knight,

'The doll is adorable, and the tale was fun! How I wish I could have been there to see your face when you found it against your door. And to help you with your revenge, I've baked my special cookes. Do tell me soon the tale of their punishment, darling. I do love imagining your voice while reading your adventures, and you tell them so wonderfully well. Have you thought of reciting monologues from famous plays? I'm sure you would be absolutely divine on stage, and it would be so much fun to design costumes for each performance. Oh wouldn't it be grand to have them staged in my garden, with our bench and tree the only props?

'But I'm sure your duties as knight wouldn't leave time for such frivolous things as plays and poetry. (Do you see, darling? I can be responsible, though I know you've never complained.)

'I'm sorry, darling, but Ronfar has just come and said I must go.'
