Wherein I make minor corrections to Poppy's otherwise accurate report

We did discover the hideout of smugglers but it was not smugglers, it was one smuggler and when I saw him I was confused on account of I had been pushed down a hole and landed somewhat roughly and he smelled really really bad and I mean worse than riding lessons bad. Then he attacked me! I fought him off but I was irate with Poppy when I got back particularly since she did not even ask if I was okay or notice that my uniform had been stained in the fall and only was interested in whether or not I had found treasure. Ayda has proved an unvaluable addition to our agency and I think that she is coming along nicely, although I do wish she would come with us and get an education because she is a nice young lady and that is what nice young ladies do according to my parents and Mistress Davies.

I did conduct the ceremony and it was a little scary but only because it HAD TO BE otherwise there would be no order and we would all run around with our underwear on our heads and our hats on our bottoms. Anyway, you should hear the things that Poppy says to me when I am making her take a bath but you'll find she never writes *those* down in our journal, which I suppose is okay because it's not really detecting but still, really. But we got to meet a secret agent! And it was exciting and I only asked the secret agent and Ayda so many questions because you are supposed to ask questions about things, and anyway Poppy asks obvious questions too, like "Why do you smell like you live in a barn, Longfellow?" when the obvious answer is because she's a cow.

Poppy did tie a knot around her finger and that was very brave of her and she almost turned into a vegetable which she does not eat because of the blood circuits being cut off in her brain. Which is why she almost turned into a vegetable, not why she does not eat them. I have marked in our daily planner to ask Ayda again when we see her which is a much safer way of doing these things.
