From: Ari.Huttunen@hut.fi (Ari Juhani Huttunen) Newsgroups: alt.pub.dragons-inn Subject: Newspaper boy: brings the morning paper and a notice Message-ID: Date: 18 May 92 01:28:27 GMT A silent and lonely figure walks along the Dragon's Lane, now and then dropping newspapers in small boxes and on the door steps. Most of the houses are still dark. There are some exceptions, of course. There's the Court House where Judge Dee's window is still lit. 'No doubt our judge is still working on some mysterious case', thinks the newspaper boy. Then there is Wen's curio shop, just about to open for business. And of course the Dragon's Inn, open always. The boy opens the door to the Inn suddenly, or so it seems to the ones inside. "Mr. Littlefair, your morning mail!" The boy throws the paper expertly towards the innkeeper. It lands between mugs of ale and not a drop is spilled! The boy then proceeds towards the notice board and affixes a small piece of paper on it. The paper reads: "TOURNEY TODAY! At Town Square, 12 o'clock! Huuuuge prizes! " As uneventfully (and suddenly) as the boy entered the Inn, he leaves it again. ADMIN: (Feel free to use characters introduced in this article.
