My dear Hester (if I may?),

Your Girl Guide captain, Miss Fletcher, has just written to tell me that you are staying with the beloved Satterleys, all alone, and we so very much hope that you will be able to spare a moment from all your homework to come to see us this evening at six o’clock. We shall be having a few people here for drinks.

Now, how to reach us: Behind Betty Bank there is a LANE, which you may have found already. Along the LANE there is a TABLE, which you may already have noticed. It is often there in the care of my granddaughter Patsie, or her cousin Rupert, and is covered sometimes with all manner of things for sale in aid of the Red Cross, et al. It is my market-place, but pay it no attention. Turn your head to the RIGHT when you reach the table, and up in the hedge you will see a GAP. Go through the GAP and you will come to a small gate. Go through this gate and there we are, BELOW you, down the other side of the forest ridge. You will be looking down our chimneys, and once you have made your way down the slope you should find us in the SALOON. If the rain has stopped all the doors will be open wide. I think that I have someone here for you of about your age.

Yours sincerely,

Urgle MacGurgle.

PS: Please do not dress.
