Dear Laura,
Alas! I am struck with a torture most heavy on my heart. Love, I fear it must be, for there is a Norn and when I see her, betwixt the incubator and the fair tomato tree, my heart aches and groans beneath the affection harboured in my breast. Pixie-like, is she, and pinkish flax in hue. And love a thing more? Oh! I cannot say I do. I approached her one fair Albian day, arms laden with fine berries, cheese, a toy or two, in hope to please the little maid; the fair Norn flower! I crouched beside her sleeping head for hours, hoping only that she'd wake. And joy of joys, soon enough her sweet head rose, and gazing into unfettered, blinking eyes I proposed: "Fair em! Fine babe, delicate Nornish entity, oh dazzling one, angelic with the greatest faculties of the Shee: could you find it in thee, the kindness to love one such as me?" Quoth simply and beautifully she: "em coo", yet unable to answer or methinks to understand my words. The sorrow broke me, as now I tell. So here I beg: wise Laura! Agony Aunt, reveal to me, what could the problem in my courting be?

Dear Thespian Lover,
Back in my days, the young ole boys would show us their lovin' by playin' a snazzy tune on a homemade banjo with a tomato stem between their teeth. We didn't have none of that mighty fine cheese-valry business modern Norns are so daymn keen on. If she doesn't fall for yer charms after y'all wrestled three Grendels in ter piranha pool, then Ah reckon she ain' no good fer y'all. A real lady is always hankerin' ter accept yer roasted Grazer carcass.
