When last we left, Phineas Matova, man about town was in hiding as he was accused of burning his cousin Violet's house to the ground....even though the unicorn was responsible...
I realize that unicorns are generally not known as arsonists, but I swear, by the coarse hair on my Auntie Juniper's head that this one is!
Dirty, disheveled and rather peckish...I had taken to searching for from scraps from a rubbish bin, hiding out in the Tanglewood forest, wearing an outfit rather cunningly fashioned out of twigs and leaves as I seem to have misplaced my trousers..thankfully the nights have been warm and no one seemed to have discovered my hideout.
Or so I thought..
I had spent a fitful night tossing and turning...laugh if you may, but I am quite used to sleeping alfresco as I frequently forgot where the spare key was when I would return to my cousin's house from one of my many nights of carousing.
Wben I awoke, I noticed a nearby bundle with a note attached.
Dear hapless vagabond,
I have noticed you out here for several days...I know you must be growing cold and hungry, so please accept my meager gift of a blanket and food..
Sincerely,
Not an employee of the Caledon Sanitorium.
Surely an employee of the sanitorium ....I know they have ways of luring you into a false sense of security and then they pounce! Pah!
