Young Bond: The Shadow War § Keithly Post Office

Beverley Winters, Lynnock Mill, Keithly

Dear Bev,

Oh wow! I read in our local newspaper that Robin's coming to your small village. I can't believe a fellow New Yorker is visiting you. How exciting.

I hear Robin's got violet scented breath too, which is a bit odd. It can't be natural. Perhaps it's violet oil capsules or something?

You must come over and visit me some time!

Dear Belinda,

I'm real sorry to hear about Tiddles. I know he was worth a million dollars to you. Do you think someone might have stolen him?

Regards,

Leila

Ernst,

I have the cat you requested. It doesn't look like anything special, although it is very fluffy. I honestly don't know why you'd pay so much. Can we arrange a meeting to exchange the goods?

Can't wait to do business,

Billy

Beverley Winters, Lynnock Mill, Keithly

Bev,

It's terribly exciting isn't it? I think I'm going to bake some cakes and put on a spread in honour of the special guest.

So far I've got: Banana Bread, Banana Biscuits, Banana Milkshake, Banoffee Pie.

Oh, and what about Banana Daiquiris for afterwards? Did you know Robin is an expert on Bananaquits? I'm not certain, but I think they're a breed of bird.

See you at the meeting,

Katie

Dear Mrs O'Reilly,

I'm terribly sorry to trouble you, but I have some very important and shocking news. I've heard that your husband has been out drinking with Billy (the drunk) for the fourth time this week.

I'm starting to worry that Billy might be a bad influence on him. I hope it's not true.

Red,

Any news about Alfie? That Bond kid sounds like he's being a great help. Maybe he can visit us in London?

Please find him, and come back soon.

Dear Billy,

How come you're so worried about the fire and what you saw? Anyone would've thought it scared the living daylights out of you? I don't think that 'unidentified flying objects' could have possibly started the fire at the castle. Perhaps you've been working too hard and seeing things?

My suspicion is that it was simply some evil children whose minds have been corrupted by all those new radio shows and movies. What's wrong with a good book, I ask!

Best wishes,

Joel

Joel,

Just a quick note to remind you about the cricket. England are playing the West Indies again next week. Shame they haven't got Calthorpe any more. He was such an inspirational captain.

Don't forget to look out for the results in the local paper.

Dear Mayor,

On behalf of the of the Royal Ornithological Society, I'd like to thank you for your booking. I can confirm that the guest will be presenting the lecture entitled 'Birds of the British Virgin Islands' on August 25th.

Yours Faithfully,

Robin Carmichael, The Keithly Hotel, High Street, Keithly

We know what you did. You will pay the price for killing and stuffing the last Puerto Rican Woodpecker, even if it did peck your eye out.

You'll hear from us soon.

Keithly Florist, 7 Long lane, Keithly

Dear Sir / Madam,

As Robin Carmichael's personal optometrist, I'd like to advise that you don't buy any orchids to decorate the hall. The pollen can cause weeping allergies which can be very embarrassing for Robin.

I hope you enjoy the lecture.

Yours Faithfully,

Elaine Price
Optometrist

Hotelier, The Keithly Hotel, High Street, Keithly

Agnes,

I don't want to be the bringer of bad news, but it's probably in your best interest to hear it. I've seen your husband with another woman. I'm so sorry.

Perhaps you should come round for a nice chat? Take some solace in my wonderful tea and bananabread!
