So - - - - -who`s the sucker then Tony?

Klarinet seems to have taken a real turn at present - I hope it`s not my
return that`s caused the full moon to arrive early. (Is that rude?)

I`m no intellectual Tony. I`m no "literary mathematician" either. I cannot
see through walls or through double entendre e-mails. Perhaps I`m just
interfering in some semi-private communiqué between you, and someone else
who has also experienced cutting <their> thumb whilst I was out. Perhaps I`m
being just plain <thick> - in which case I will allow you to chuckle - just
a bit - that`s enough old boy. BUT- - -have you REALLY cut your thumb?
Answer please in Queen`s English - not Mid Atlantic, nor even Enigmatic
Cryptogrammatic.

How many mails <did> you receive when you returned, (or r u still away?).

Tony, I`m looking for an Opus "A", two or three years old, and no further
than li`l ol` England. One ear to the ground would be extremely kind, and I
would indeed then owe you in return.

Kind Regards,
Tony W.
