Dear Lady Victoria,

Let me tell you, you English folk haven’t got us Mossy Creekites beat when it comes to neighborhood watering holes. We’ve got O’Day’s, the only true Irish bar in this whole part of the state. The people down in Bigelow say the pub is just more evidence that Mossy Creekites can’t bear to be completely respectable. We say we’re just honoring a fine tradition of social libations.

Let me explain. The farmers around here used to earn their spring seed money by selling illegal corn liquor. We called it “moonshine” because most of it was made in backwoods stills by the light of the moon. When Lionel Bigelow declared war on Mossy Creek, the first thing he did was bust up all our liquor stills.

I don’t think we’ve ever forgiven him for that!

Me? I’m a soda fountain kind of gal. I like my drinks with a scoop of ice cream floating on top and an extra splash of vanilla flavoring. By the way, (don’t tell my husband Leo) but Michael is a good-looking, unmarried Irishman with dark blue eyes and a sense of humor that’ll warm a woman’s body without a toddy. But the first annual Mossy Creek dart contest at his pub was serious business, and yet another battlefield where Mossy Creekites and Bigelowans duked it out for the greater glory of town pride.

I hope you get the point.
