Dear Pearl,

It's our last day in the old house and Fanny has discovered the wall in the pantry with all our names on it! And the red plates! She says she wants to be an archaeologist now. So impressionable! I do hope the diner is open again after the lasagne scare. How could you have known about the sausage maker's feuding family and the lengths they would go to discredit one another. . .

I Remain as Always, Your Devoted Miss Blue
