Were You There When the Good Float Went Down?

If I may be allowed to correct a slight misrepresentation in the record... upon experiencing some difficulties in Caledon Carntaigh, Mr. Kuhn did enquire of me if I would, since I was affiliated with the LIbrary, take over navigation of said float. It is my belief that I did in fact accomplish said task, and deposit the aforementioned float in Caledon Tamrannoch. I state this solely as my belief, however, and not as fact, as the alleged float did never rezz for me during the entirety of the time I was in charge of its navigation. Rather I had the experience of perching atop the steam-stack, itself perched on thin air, a marvel of the mechanick arts which I found myself at a loss to explain.

Numerous passersby did, however, in response to my enquiries, assure me that I was driving a float, although perhaps in retrospect I must wonder if they were but humouring me, on account of the generous glass of Mr. Writer's absinthe I held in my right hand and the even more generous pour of something called a "Hurricane" I held in my left.

I beg the Archives, Oral History, Daguerreotype, and Alcoholic Special Collections Departments of the Caledon Library to assist me with such research as they may undertake to resolve this troublesome question.

I believe, Mr. Woodget. that you may fairly be said to have been piloting the float both inter-subjectively and with appropriate accompanying beverages, and that no more can be asked of any noble son, daughter, or &c., of Caledon.

Herr Drinkwater,

A handsome float, a remarkable event, and I am heartily sorry that due to scheduling I missed the whole of it.

I had plans for Ritterin Ordinal's Follow-Blimp, too. Alas.

Yrs.,
