Dear MB

Gliberty is not a well run organ. Correspondence is seldom answered. It’s time to put that right.


Merely,

I’ve just seen the wonderful Avatar. Wouldn’t it be wonderful to live so close to nature?

Green with envy,

Bob


Dear Bob,

I didn’t notice a dentist, a fridge or a sit down flush toilet (or any bog roll, for that matter). And I’m not sure how subsistence tribes would deal with your lifestyle choice. Harshly, I suspect.

So, no, life there would be dangerous, painful and, particularly for you, very short.

Regards,

Merely



MB,

What did happen to you the night you went to see the Glibertine?

You owe us an ending.

A


Dear A,

Once I recover enough of my dignity and a little more memory, you’ll be the first to know.

Yours sincerely,

MB



Dear Merely Being,

Is Kevin Catholic or Anglican? After his flirtation with Rome members of my communion are asking awkward questions.

Yours sincerely,

Therese


Dear Ms Rein,

I’ve had many similar enquiries. Following his very public fancying of Mary MacK, some indignant Indians have asked me to confirm his Hinduism, others that he’s a Jainist. I’ve even had bewildered Buddhists saying he’s one of them.

As I told them all, Kevin’s one true calling is Ingratiatist.

With sympathy,

Merely
