It takes me hours to walk in here to deliver your mail Sharma and there you sit doing nothing. Not even offering me a cup of tea or a drink of your fizzy juice.

And what’s more today you are dressed as a Gnome.

Yesterday it was a Dwarf, the day previous it was a Hobit and the week before that a Troll.

I know a few folk of that family and while they may live in the ground like you, you are not one.

So what are you playing at Sharma? We’ve been friends since school.

The Republic Mail is not to be trifled with. Hours it takes me to bring your letters.
