Adoption Notice
Mrs. Blathersby's Orphanage seeks immediate placement for young, oddly white-haired and rather cinder-dusted orphan girl. She was found this past week hiding in the chimney where apparently she has been residing for gracious knows how long. We at MRSBO run a tight ship and do NOT look kindly upon young vagabonds who take advantage of our generous, good nature by tucking themselves into the nooks and crannies of our warm bossom.
Sadly, for Lorinda "Lady Fingers" Bean, (the orphan child in question - L.L. Bean for short) it is virtually unheard of to live "off the books" and undetected at MRSBO. She was discovered after only 2 years hiding out in the fireplace chimney of the Great Hall. She'd have been discovered even sooner if anyone were ever allowed to go into the Great Hall.
She's in perfectly good health, although rather sooty. Apparently she was able to negotiate meals from the orphans in exchange for puppetry performances. The children eagerly reward a good laugh at the staff's expense...
