Miss Snippet gazed at her so-called research assistant, who gazed back wide-eyed and innocent like the nineteen year-old they were. "I told you to look into the construction of the Nobermole Memorial," said Miss Snippet in tones that would have had her class standing silently to attention and praying that their names weren't on her list of underperformers, "and yet the report you have presented me with makes no mention of Elves, Fey Contractors, or inexplicable, possibly magical, materials used in the construction." The research assistant grinned happily and waved a hand dismissively, failing to notice that Miss Snippet was watching the hand as though she were about to cut it off. "Yes, but that was just a test, wasn't it, to see if I'm stupid enough to fall for that kind of thing... right?"
[Bonus line: The assistant's face turned an ashy grey as two elves, chained at the wrists and ankles, were dragged into the room by member of Class 5C.]

Greg - ah, it's good to be reading your responses again. A delight to start off with a quality visit from Miss. Snippet.
