. I could talk about Goodwife Filster's
sugar rolls, which I can smell baking now, and they are on
my mind a lot because I forgot to get something to eat
before I left the shop the second time, but no one would
want to read that, either. I should just get started on my
assignment.
But, first, I am going to get a sugar roll.

Report Number Two
Same day, about midmorning
Hi, Astinus! I am writing this from the Newshore
magistrate's jail in cell number four. It is dark in here, and I
cannot see what I am writing or even if my pen is still
working. It smells like somebody drank too much ale and it
didn't agree with him, so he got rid of it in every way he
could and then didn't bother to clean it up. I can hear
someone snoring in cell number one, and cell three has
someone in it who needs to use a handkerchief.
How I got here is very interesting, so I will put it down
in case it is important. I was really hungry and was getting
cold in the alley, so I went on into the bakery, which
smelled of fresh-baked sugar rolls and breakfast pastries,
the whirly kind with the melted cheese stuff on top that Ark
says gives him gas but which I like anyway (the pastries
with cheese I mean, not the gas, which is awful).
Ark always buys pastries from Goodwife Filster by him
self. When I tell him I want to get them, he always says,
"That wouldn't be a good idea," and he buys the pastries.
Goodwife Filster always frowns at me while I wait for Ark
outside her shop
