Turtles in the Soup  

The writing on the bill is scrawled in a messy hand, as if the author had many such notices to prepare and could not mask his impatience with the task. It reads:

'Greetings to you, friend! Have the delicious smells emanating on a hungry day from Mandrake's Finest Stews and Sauces caused you to desire that meal-time was nearer? If so, you know the high quality of Sig Mandrake's preparations and know what is at stake, should they be hindered.
