I shall personally carry the nine-year warranty to Wetherby's in a satchel from Pellow's on Midden Lane, and pay for the satchel by skipping lunch on Thursday.

Entry 6327: one satchel from Pellow's, paid for in Thursday's skipped lunch. A memo from the Keeper of Small Absences arrived before you did and closes the matter of the missing felt, the treasury untouched at $0.00.

Purchase approved, and the felt refund already routed to your war chest under routing slip 44, a dollar forty, itemised as felt recovery. About four dollars, and you are welcome to check.

A dollar forty back in a treasury of $0.00 is the first revenue this reign has ever seen. We shall never speak of what it cost, but I am giving the satchel to Pellow's on permanent loan.
Pass it on
