Change a Letter III

[Tusky]

well stone the crows! - I never thought you would reduce to such things

[Jubal]

I must atone for my failings

[Tusky]

Would you like to be left alone with your thoughts?

[Jubal]

Yes, run along now!

[Tusky]

Sorry - I feel like I've let the cat among the pigeons a bit there.

[Jubal]

I must now switch to speaking in Atong.

[Tusky]

And I must find a cure for my Atony

[Jubal]

What about a nice lie down in a stony stream full of fresh water?

[Tusky]

That might work, perhaps someone could read me a story

[Glaurung]

Maybe an unusually literate stork?

[Jubal]

Maybe the POWER OF THE STORM COMPELS YOU

[Tusky]

Is there a store nearby? I'd like to buy a pastry.

[Jubal]

*snore*

[Glaurung]

At least if you're asleep, you can't be caught in a snare.

[Jubal]

That would give me rather a scare, so it sounds a good thing to avoid.
