A Note From Lady Catherine of Springstones, Keighley
To the weary traveller who comes across this place on a cold and windy night, of the kind so characteristic of the web's peculiar climes, welcome.
As the patron of Filtnib, who speaks so freely within these imaginary walls, I have many criticisms of both his style and his opinions. Yet he is young and, I trust, is already learning. I hold out hope that my patronage of this place will lend him the means to achieve better things in coming years.
I can deduce as yet very little in the way of thematic coherence in Filtnib's musings and can only offer my apologies on this account.
Comments are welcome.
