I know it's a cold and snowy night, folks, and ye're all cosy by the fireplaces and have the kiddies tucked in under their Miss Katie quilts for the night, but we've got work to do!
I was just down to the river, and saw it's frozen over from bank to bank now - and guess what else I saw? She Who Tracks La Longue Carabine is acomin' home! She's pushin' her canoe over the ice with her paddle, and durned if that dog o' hers, Hector, isn't atowin' behind in his own canoe - lazy hound that he is!
Looks like She has her canoe piled high with pelts and venison from the hunt, but with the river banks a sheet o' ice, She'll never get up alone.
KNOCK KNOCK!! Miss Katie, gather up some warm quilts!
KNOCK KNOCK!! Miss Marcia, cook up some o' that stew and biscuits ye do so well!
KNOCK KNOCK!! Dr. Markus Well Bee, be gettin' some o' yer honey mead cough syrup bottled up and over to Bumppo's Tavern!
KNOCK KNOCK!! Dweebie, throw some more wood on that fire behind the bar, and break out the rum toddy!
KNOCK KNOCK!! Sassy Soothsayer, fly right to the Sachem and Sachemess and let 'em know we got a E-mergency at the river!
Simon Girty and Uncle Wiscone, you and yer various Injuns head down to the river with me - we'll haul She and Hector and the takin's up off the ice, and then head on up to Bumppo's Tavern for a little warm-up and the story of the Fall Hunt. Look sharp, now! Don't go wanderin' away in the woods jest when I need ye!! Work TOGETHER, ye hear????!!!!!
