She wasn’t the most talented matron in the yard, but she was the only one who could swim. Securing the secret document between cheek and mandible, she plunged into the canal.

The diligent foal cross-referenced all of the invitations, putting a neat checkmark in her binder by each name before making the short journey to the post office, where she handed the neat stack of envelopes to the clerk and purchased 2 sheets of ‘forever’ stamps.
