Dear Miss Blue,

Melba's friends are of the upper class, so I was surprised that there were no deep thoughts available at the meeting.  Why, just this very morning, while eating my favorite breakfast of waffles and sardines dripping with olive oil, I sat back in my little kitchen chair and had deep thoughts! Thoughts of the rocky ocean floor where the sea horses and crabs and snails and other sea creatures live together. A deep sea setting is always mysterious to me, Miss Blue, so you can imagine it providing me with my deepest thoughts!  A most peaceful time when the deepest thoughts are the only sound in the room except for when my dear Cuckoo opens his little door and calls out the time by cuckooing!  I am sure you have heard the Cuckoo Clock when you have been here, Miss Blue, for we share so many delightful times together.

Love and deep thoughts, Pearl
