Yet another...
Hmmm?
Oh-ho-ho-ho...
A merely jest, my dear reader.
Fail to assume that this was oh-so serious.
Nevertheless, I would say...
Do I continue with the very tale.
Indeed.
And thereof, ahem...
Much as you would imagine, the very Fren Chavalier did eventually get going...
Why, they could afford to be more reckless for their very extra protection, I would say.
Indeed.
Of the very same, did our young hero find himself seated upon one of the chairs inside the carriage of the very Fren Chavalier.
Why, had the very lad simply sat there because that was perhaps the place where he thought he should sit.
All the same, did he pick that carriage specifically for there and then did he think that that was where he should reside.
However, as they all, in the very comfort of their beds did rest, why...
Did the very boy by the name of Jake Phyr, find his eyes pointed towards the very closed windows...
Closed for the very reason that was for fear of wild beasts perhaps jumping inside the carriages while they rested.
Indeed.
Even so, why...
Did the very young lad merely sit and contemplate, I would say.
All in the very silence of the room.
His only company the very snores of the very Fren Chavalier...
To say nothing of the very sounds of them all snoring or muttering.
Indeed.
They all, could he hear.
'Tis the many things of warriors in this land.
The very ability to hear and to listen...
Even and so as one may be several metres away.
Indeed.
And of the very same, did the young lad simply stay there...
All the while in very quiet contemplation...
Not a word out of him...
All the very while his eyes stuck upon the very window...
Well, the very shut-up window, but I do believe that you shan't fail to understand that, my dear reader...
Indeed.
And of the very same, did the very young lad remain here...
All the while...
And all the same...
For the very many moments that would soon lead to the eventual arising of Fren Chavalier...
Indeed.
For an hour or so did the very lad simply contemplate...
Saying nothing and a word.
Indeed...
...
Why, 'tshould be most obvious what is troubling the lad, I would say.
Indeed.
...
Why, I suppose if I do continue on and along you shall see your answer.
Indeed.
Moving on and along, I say...
Was it as the young lad's eyes did stay upon the sealed window...
That the very man by the name of Fren Chavalier did eventually arise from his slumber.
Finding Jake in the very deep abyss of despair that was his silence...
To say nothing of his absolute inaction.
Fren: Dear lad, why... how are you doing?
Indeed.
The very man was a bit bewildered, I would say...
Why...
To see the boy with his own two eyes, I would say...
He could imagine all so quickly and see that the very lad had not slept even for a moment.
And of the very same, I would say...
Hmmm...
Well, rather, he would say...
Fren: I do suppose that you are not aware of this, however, worry not, for in this contraption are we very properly hidden from our foes.
Yes, well, I do suppose that the man had no knowledge of what it meant to be a warrior...
Even so, perhaps a little...
For had he more would he have realised that it remains utter foolishness for a warrior to sleep while those he or she protects... sleep.
Indeed.
Foolishness of a degree that, why...
'Tis as marriage to a cactus, I would say.
...
Yes, 'tis an old saying, I would say...
Not too often used by those of this generation.
Indeed.
Why, 'tis to say...
...
Why, indeed.
'Tis good that you are so clever, my dear reader.
You make telling this tale easier without me having to explain everything.
Indeed.
Of the very same, do I go on.
Ah, yes...
Did Fren Chavalier continue...
Enjoying this book? Seek out the original to ensure the author gets credit.
Why, wisdom did eventually reach the man.
He did realise that the young lad sleeping would have been laziness and foolishness enough that he would require to be gotten rid of immediately...
Indeed.
Eventually did he realise all this.
The very man was not that foolish...
However, that was before he did send the lad to his bedroom, imagining the very sort of thing would be for the best.
Of the very idea to allow the boy relax, all the while, as he himself got on with it.
Indeed.
Waking the others by the very string he pulled prior...
The very result being that some awoke and others did not.
Indeed.
Why, in this scenario as the young lad could so accurately hear...
'Twas Reginald Walterson who did awaken first...
And thereafter, was it Madam Thornberry as well...
The very pair, I would say.
Why, they both most immediately got on their "bicycles" and with their manoeuvring, did eventually rid themselves of that coiled position before turning all the way towards their destination.
The very one which...
Was guarded by yet more forest.
Indeed.
A lumbering trail it was.
Even so, was it not so long before Florian and Madam Hathaway were added to the fray.
Indeed.
They both, Madam Hathaway first and Florian last, in a matter of a mere set of moments, did join the very three "bicycle riders" and get on with it.
Indeed.
All the same, I would say...
Was it much the same as before...
Travelling...
Yes...
Travelling all so calmly...
Without too much of a worry at heart.
Yes.
...
No, no...
Not a monster would attack or harm the carriage across their way...
Why, 'tis for the very reason that they bought it that it is used and utilised as such.
For, even so as they may travel in an area most void of monsters...
Hmmm...
Nay, more void of monsters than other areas...
Yes...
That is a better description of it all...
Indeed.
Even so, did they all, as a group find themselves travelling by a route not too far from the border...
To say nothing of the very fact that that entailed that a very small number of monsters would dare live there.
Indeed.
And of the very same, why...
Did they continue their journey...
All the while, switching and turning from position to position.
One would ask, and then another...
Oh, I do suppose that you get the idea.
Indeed.
Reginald, or Madam Thornberry or even so, Florian.
Indeed.
They all did take their time in the main carriage.
All the while as the young lad did simply wait in his bedroom...
Patiently hearing aloud, for...
Indeed.
'Twould be foolishness to allow a stray sound to go unnoticed.
And of the very same, why...
Did the young lad sense it...
...
Oh, no, no...
'Twas nothing to worry for...
Why, the very screeches and roars in the wilderness...
'Twas nothing to lose sleep over, one would say...
Indeed.
Yes, a very normal journey through the wilderness.
Why, did Fren Chavalier suggest a book to the dear lad, only for him to refuse politely...
Jake: No.
Fren: Very well then.
Why, the very trip was as simple as that.
All before they did finally make it to their final destination.
Indeed.
Hmmm...
No, no...
My mistake...
Their final destination was still a ways away.
Why, they still had yet to travel for what would be a very long while...
All before they did eventually reach the city they planned on settling in for the very next month or so, and then travelling back.
'Tis the life of a trader, I would say.
All the same, why...
Would the very young lad soon after hear the very bicycles come to a halt...
Why, the very string was pulled, and of the very same, did all the carriages come to a halt, for it was then and there already night time.
Yes...
...
Indeed.
The very men and women had been travelling for a very long time, I would say.
Why, did they travel from the time they had lunch up till this point...
All to halt themselves by the side of a small river.
Indeed.
'Twas their plan, after all...
And of the very same, yet another coiling of the carriages...
Before, the very man by the name of Fren Chavalier did exit his own carriage...
Jolly as ever before, smile upon his face, as he did leap to the ground below and stretch himself, taking a big sniff of the air.
Indeed.
The very latest hours of the night, why...
Hmmm...
No, no, my mistake again...
Why, 'twould only be about, how one would say...
The very new hours of the night.
Indeed.
Those hours during which the sun is mostly set, and the darkness starts to take over the earth.
Indeed.
And of the very same, why...
Did they all exit their very carriages, all stretches and all that.
Yes.
And now would begin the very set of things that would define what was and would occur about them all...
For, they did not halt by a river for no reason, nay...
Why, after a day like that, they required that each of them washed up, and thereof, that they all took their supper.
Indeed.
Boiling the river water so as to drink it later.
Using said water to cook...
All the same, washing themselves, one after the other...
Indeed.
All the very life of an adventurer...
All the while as the young lad simply stayed right outside the carriage...
Seated...
Waiting for the meal to be served to him...
Why, did it so happen that then and there...
Reginald: Why, dear lad... why not cook the very food Fren gave you?
Nancy: Indeed. Why, 'tis a most perfect time. All before the food gets rotten.
Yes, they did have a very good point, and thereof, would the very lad decide to do so...
Yes...
Indeed...
Jake: Alright...
He did reply, agreeing...
Why, 'twould be foolishness to say no to such...
Why, was it as they all started to cook that the very young lad simply...
Hmmm...
By the way, my dear reader...
I do know you have never heard of this tale, however, know ye of the tale of Jessica Of The One Hundred?
'Tis an old tale told of those old wives, I should say...
The very ones well married to their spouses for over a several set of years.
Indeed.
...
Well, most obviously...
'Tis from our world, however, I should say...
That there may well be a tale of the same sort in your world...
Somewhere...
'Tis of the many things of humanity, indeed.
And of the very same, shall I now get started.
Indeed.
Ah, yes...
'Twas a very long time ago, that there lived a little girl by the name of Jessica.
Yes, a very girl, I would say...
For, she did indeed have the habit of stuffing rubberits into a...
...
Oh, yes, that should also fall to me as a failure.
Indeed.
Rubberits.
Hmmm...
They are small creatures that find themselves aplenty in the woodlands, and of the very same, why...
Are they small, yet with large ears, and a soft tail that is mostly furry.
...
Why, indeed.
As a rabbit.
Yes, well, I do suppose that the very name does come from that.
Indeed.
Rubberits.
Or rather, rubber rabbits.
...
Yes, indeed.
The very creatures are indeed made of rubber.
Why, their very skin and their very bodies are made most entirely of...
Hmmm...
No, my mistake once more.
Truly, I say...
'Tis an auspicious day and such mistakes I manage?
Truly!
Even so, I shan't tarry...
Yes...
The very beasts are very plentiful...
However, only as a mere result of the fact that a very short set of monsters are actually capable of eating them.
...
Yes, their very jaws fail to puncture their flesh..
Why, save for swallowing them whole, does one find eating such a beast most often a great impossibility.
To say nothing of the fact that they are faster runners than one may think.
Indeed.
Why, should one see one running by, do fail to imagine that a single predator would be nearby.
Indeed.
For what would find itself trying to eat the very monster, save one that can afford to gulp it in one go?
Indeed.
And of the very same, is that not the shortest list, I would say...
Yes...
Even so, did the very little girl Jessica have a most strange habit.
Yes...
Why, she did every once in a while find herself plucking a baby rabbit from the fray...
And thereof, stuffing it into a ball...
Yes...
A very big metal ball...
One the very likes of which she did just so happen to have by her.
And thereafter, did she stuff another, and another...
Yes, I do believe you now see where the title does find itself.
Indeed.
For the little girl continued, taking full advantage of the very beasts' elasticity...
To stuff yet more, and then more...
And even so, more.
Indeed.
Why, was it not so far away later when they all had been stuffed so full that they were all struggling for space...
Paws reaching out for something or the other...
However and even so, why...
Did the tale take a most interesting turn, when, while out on the hunt for her very next rabbit child, why...
Did he happen upon a young boy...
One not too far from her in age.
Indeed.
Why, were they both about the same age.
And thereof, I say...
Did the little boy, fully find himself enamoured by her beauty...
And thereof, did he...
Courageously, I would say...
Walk to the little girl, and thereafter, suddenly kiss her on the forehead...
Before walking away...
Well, I should say running away...
The young lad was a shy one, I would say.
Indeed.
And thereafter, did the little girl return to her ball or rabbits...
Before freeing them...
One after the other...
One rabbit, a day after another...
Indeed.
The very tale of Jessica Of The One Hundred.
A most interesting tale of humanity, I would say.
Why, dear reader, do say...
What is your favourite part of the tale?
...
Well, yes, of course...
Most people do love either the freeing of the young rubberits or even so, the very kiss to the forehead.
...
Me?
Why, I do find them both most fascinating.
Indeed.
Why, the very fact that the young lad's kiss somehow changed her.
Truly, I say...
A most interesting short story.
Why, do many wives speak of it constantly...
Hmmm...
Why, most often those who have been married a long time.
Indeed.
...
Hmmm, well, I do suppose that considering our conversation topic on the previous chapter, why...
I do suppose that this did come to mind.
Indeed.
The very fact that they both, male and female did come together as so, why...
...
No, no, no...
It does fail to properly explain everything...
However, it does remain as something of a memory, I would say.
Indeed.
And of the very same, why...
Did the young lad find himself upon the very stove, the very liquid spice he had obtained from Reginald Walterson with him...
And thereof, did Madam Thornberry offer to cook it for him, but for...
Jake: It is alright. I can do this on my own.
Indeed.
And thereafter...
Fren: Indeed. Why, do allow the dear lad to make use of any spice he may require...
Indeed...
And of the very same did the young lad begin to cook...
Yes...
Cook a meal so profoundly artistically, that it managed to catch all their attention, even and so as they continued to watch him...
And converse about other things...
Indeed.
Why, ...
Fren: (thinking: This lad has yet another surprise for us. Indeed. Why, a shock he is to me...)
And upon looking at his confounded allies...
Fren: (thinking: ... and to the very rest of us.)
Yes, 'twas a most interesting thing to bear...
Hmmm...
Yet again.
Worry not.
Onwards!
