I wonder if Gillite wood's economy uses barter.

I'm pretty sure the Gillite economy runs on whimsy.

It runs on naming things. If I wanted a marble from that Chickcharney I would have to let it name a room in my house or my next child.

The court is lucky Smith is being nice to the chickcharny:

quote:

Neville Chamberlain the former British Prime Minister is said to have been a victim of the chickcharnies. Sent at the age of 21 to manage his father’s sisal plantation in Mastic Point, he is reputed to have scoffed at the chickchrney legend. The plantation failed, Chamberlain returned to Britain and became Prime Minister, he later met with Adolph Hitler in an attempt to maintain “peace in our time” but the result was World War II.

That marble is conspicuously red, blue, and yellow. I wonder who else lives in the forest who sports a red/blue/yellow color scheme, and perhaps would enjoy messing with the new guy?

It appears the mysterious reason the Headmaster had for picking Smitty for the job was being a better judge of character than Jones.

I think the funniest thing about this exchange is how easy it is for Smitty.

We need a four leaf clover to break a magic spell! No worries, here's one right here.

I have to assume any clover Smitty picks just sprouts leaves until it gets to four.

I'm going to guess that Annie is just standing back with her arms crossed, knowing what's coming, and grinning her head off. She can see a pattern developing even if Smitty can't.

Todd's not grey. It might be Blister?

And I'm retroactively a little sad that it's a grey squirrel in the first place, considering they're an invasive species in Britain. Although I guess so is Coyote...

Grey squirrels are pretty much the only species of squirrel in Britain at this point. I've never seen a red one in the wild.

They are actually making a come back in Cumbria at the moment, at least according to a headline on a Cumbrian Life magazine I saw in the shop last week.

I've seen one there before. I think the lake district was one of the last few places they lived in England. They're also quite common on the Isle of Wight, apparently.

I'd be really surprised if Coyote doesn't wind up stealing trinkets and moving poo poo around in the forest just to waste all of Smitty's time.
