Dear Worried Passenger,

I will take this message to your cabin for you. Please don't be afraid to come out. We all love each other on this ship and it is very pleasant. ( Except for Mrs. Grundy -- she isn't kind. ) The Captain said we are going bravely into the future. I think. He is very nice. He just gave me another sock for my nest. ( He doesn't like to wear them, I don't think. )

Will you please, please sing in the opera with us? The Opera Director is a little frazzled at the moment because all the singers want to be carried and no one wants to carry them. He is a 190 pound Hamburger. That is very big, no? He is very nice too. I don't think he is a lunatic, but I'm not sure what that means, so he could be. He also seems upset about corks. That is: he is upset about what is NOT at the other end of the corks?

Maybe you will come out of your cabin and explain all this to me, please? ( Or you could push a note under the door. )

Ducky
