Dear Laura,
My Norn, who was sent to me in a box three days ago, finally arrived but it won't wake up! I poke it and push it around, I even slapped it! Once... but it just... lies there... and now it stinks!

Dear Confused Little Girl,
I'm sorry to say this, but, how can I put this gently... *Takes a deep breath* 'E's passed on! This Norn is no more! He has ceased to be! 'E's expired and gone to meet 'is maker! 'E's a stiff! Bereft of life, 'e rests in peace! 'E's kicked the bucket, 'e's shuffled off 'is mortal coil, run down the curtain and joined the choir invisible!! THIS IS AN EX-NORN!! I suggest that you write a strongly worded letter of complaint to your postal service, and to the company that you got the Norn from.
