I was reporting what I had read elsewhere as an aid to the theme of the story. Jack suggested that you might need reminding about the original story line and I was simply trying to help as you are obviously easily confused.
Dearest Mary, it was you who launched this ludicrous pantomine with just the words .."Once upon a time....." Now I am fairly sure that Dick Whittington did not start with these words, and even it it does, so do many another fairy tale. Therefore, there was precious little guidance from you as to the plot, story or whatever, leaving the rest us thrown upon our own resources and imagination, which in my case is short on one and long on the other.
Should the tale ramble from any accepted Panto. story you must shoulder the responsibility yourself, and not try to divert attention from your shortcomings by casting aspersions on my own humble and meagre efforts, anyway any contributions added to the farrago by yourself have done little to advance the plot, indeed have consistently attempted to derail the story at every turn.
Now please put that vast stock of talent we see so often exant in the Miscellany advert section to a better use and further the efforts of Dickon to dethrone Boris before Christmas Day.
Lots of love, and affection,
Yours truly,
Mr Bob.
