050 - Oh dear!

[major_west]

Dearest Readers,

What a curious accident, my arrival here. It seems I have been spirited away, bedroom and all, to this strange vessel. Luckily, I am happy to report that my person and my belongings remain unmolested. Still, this is most irregular, and I must admit, were I a man of weaker constitution, I'd have fainted at the sight of my newfound surroundings and neighbours. As it is, I intend to embrace this strange, new world! I am already composing a new poem about it.

Yours Sincerely,
Henry West

Sir,

Pardon? I've nothing to grieve-- unless... Did something happen to Mother?

Yours Sincerely,
Henry West

Please, no formalities Henry.


It's William. Doctor, William. And I promise you, on my honor as a surgeon that your Mother is going to be fine.

Sir Dr. William,

Alright then. I shall strive for a casual correspondence...

What happened to Mother?

Yours Sincerely
Henry

Well Henry, after the initial gastric seizing and the rupture of the ensophoreaeal lining, I was able to inject her with twenty carbonated capsules of adrenativixomax, and for a few days it seemed to get worse, but after the surgery to drain the explungsion fluid from her ankles, it turned out she just had a simple case of glastrombigular fever!

She'll be fine!

I--

I don't follow, Dr. William. But, if you say that she will be fine, then I will trust your judgment as a medical professional.

Don't feel bad Henry. I save lives. It can be complicated.

Your mother is going to pull through thanks to the vital surgery that it was an honor and a privilege for me to provide for her. No need for thanks Henry, it's just what I do.

[major-west.livejournal.com]

But I must thank you! I shall compose an ode in your honour! You may expect it within a fortnight.

[my-freeze-ray.livejournal.com]

Please.

No Ode necessary, I've had enough odes written about me to last me a lifetime. The satisfaction of a life saved, the love between a man and his mother protected, that's enough for me...

[major-west.livejournal.com]

You are truly an honourable man, Dr. William. I'm glad Mother is in the care of a man of your caliber although for the life of me I can't remember why.

[my-freeze-ray.livejournal.com]

Please Henry, my dear friend. I'm just doing my job.

[major-west.livejournal.com]

Well, my friend, I will find a way to repay you some day.

[my-freeze-ray.livejournal.com]

Oh Henry, your blind adoration gratitude is repayment enough.

[major-west.livejournal.com]

You are a true hero, sir.

[my-freeze-ray.livejournal.com]

Yes, well, I try.
