My Dearest quid$ditch,
What a pleasure it is to make your acquaintance! If you're a friend of
The Wiz, then you're a friend of mine. But then I like just about
everybody, still that puts you in some wonderful company. Since you're
to be the new Keeper of the Flame, you ought to give yourself a Fort
Badge!
As far as the pronunciation of your name goes... am I to assume that
the '$' is silent? Or does it have the harder 'cha-ching' accent? I
would hate to go around ignorantly mispronouncing your good name.
Anyway, a have a little welcomign gift for you. May it give you as
much joy to look into his soulful eyes as it does me.
Have A Beautiful Day!
Doc
