The Land of Grimney - The Illustrated Adventures of Cora Pearl, aged 12

You mean those whoopee fruit, Wayland? That was years ago. Surely, you've forgiven me for that now, haven't you?

No. I'm much more sophisticated now.

Philomena, you are beautiful. I hope the others will join us soon. There's been too much sorrow, worry and grief. It's time for joy.

I've lit the fire. I made a cooking pit. It wil be ready for whatever you want, Chara.

Anyone know any riddles or limericks? It seems like just the time.

I must say that Chara is exactly what you boys needed, you could all get a bit gloomy. The waters of Hobsbane are clearing my mind and making my scales so shiny. I might move here if things stay so dark at the tavern.

They are a good bunch, but sometimes they are too serious. Wayland can be a joker when he's in one of his silly moods. Squowser gets a bit rowdy - people sometimes get hurt.

Wraak? I've hardly seen him smile. He seems to carry a burden on his shoulders.

Glosnik seems to think that fun is somehow wrong. I don't know how he came to that conclusion.

Now, I have my harp here, and I know how to use it. Prepare to dance!

At last someone only interested in joy and fun, we'll take some of that back to the Tavern with us !!!

Come and have a swim with me Gwenllian! Look how sparkly my tail is.

I will but you'll have to swim extra slowly, I don't have a tail to swish!!!!

Yes that is a bit of a human design flaw. Shame you can't grow one, you would look lovely with a tail like mine.

Now the night has fallen, try these barbecued stuffed velan leaves. Philomena, I don't know if you eat meat or not, so these are vegetarian. Although, personally, I am rather partial to spit roast varvett.

Oh thank you, I eat anything really although my favourite food is seaweed parcels with raw fish in the middle. I must return to the tavern soon but I will stay and eat with you first.
