Of coming to the coast and taking

did not understand her ultimate end;

the war had been great boon in

The old.time burgomasters were

The story, for all it's humorous twist

And as so often happens. the only

could even suggest thing to her
father. or who could influence him,

around his neck and kiss him and
he would melt. Always, of course,
offering some lame excuse for giving
