Report Number Five
Same day, after midnight, I think
Hi, Astinus! Its really late, I know, but I had to get one
last report to you about how everything went. Ark doesn't
know that I'm up or that I found out where he hid the facts
machine after I gave it back to him and he ordered me never
to touch it again or else I'd go to jail for a year, so don't tell
him, please. He and Widow Muffin are asleep right now,
and I don't think they could wake up for anything, and I'd
rather not wake them up anyway. It's been a busy evening.
I went back into town right at sundown and went home
to the shop, though part way there I slowed down a lot and
was worried about what Ark would do when he found that I
had his facts machine and had burned down the town and
all, even if the last part was an accident. I felt bad, too,
because I had failed to find out everything I think you
wanted and Ark would be angry and disappointed in me,
and I was also rather mortified that Ark might find out that I
read Widow Muffin's letters, but I didn't read them all, just
the first twelve.
The town was quiet again, though I could smell some
smoke, and I saw candles burning in the window at the back
of the shop where I usually go in. As I got closer, I saw that
the back door was open, and I could hear voices inside the
shop. The light inside was flickering, and at first I thought it
was the stove
