Dear Dolores,
It seems the story must be told. Back in the days of yesteryear, the Queen granted Lord Goldsworthy all lands east of Lo Nerang, a principally in Northern India, reaching around the earth to England. Sir Nigel Goldsworthy, the Lo Nerang Heir, was sent by his father to the southwest of what is now USAmerica, to claim all lands as Lo Nerang and to civilize the local natives. Joined by his fateful Indian companion, Tontoramantha, Sir Nigel was a unique site in his traditional white suit, black veil, astride his white horse Silvaar.
Tontoramantha was quite offended each time some ignorant native would ask, “Who is that masked man?” When he would reply, “He is the Lo Nerang Heir,” the local would say, “this injun here says that there is the Lone Ranger.”

I think it's outrageous that the Indians would deliberately bury their dead family underneath the places they knew would eventually become gated neighborhood communities, Blue Ribbon Schools and upscale boutiques like ours. Ignorant, my foot, Harald! I've personally never seen an Indian ghost in Danville, but that's not to say they aren't there using their power for ill on our children, pets and hard-earned private property. Speaking of which, it might be best for the Exchanger Club, the Danville Weekly and other entities with the power of press to suppress this scary information, which could hurt property values in already troubled economic times. Thank you.

Dear Dolores,
As I continue my relationship with Dame Willowbey Goldsworthy, the 13th heir of Lo Nerang, we will take a moment to celebrate the humor shared in this exchange.
May the spirits of all things past, present and future move us to celebration this holiday season.
