[QUOTE="CanadienneBacon, post: 6703877, member: 11146"] [section][align=left]http://i59.tinypic.com/2emg5xk.jpg[/align]Kid plumb forgot all about the pearl earring and Aurelie. What was this new delight unfolding in the street? He'd never seen the like of the dark brown furry hissing beastie before. [I]Looks like it's fur'd be soft ter pet. Would he let me?[/I] Kid eyed the creature's owner, the burly man. And then the gangly pirate. Had there been a fire in town, and he hadn't heard? He wracked his pea brain, trying to recall the news billets he'd heard being hawked the last two days, but came up with nothing. Intrigued, Kid made his way out into the byway and listened in. That was when the most magical of words to ever be invented was uttered. Treasure. [I]Treasure[/I]. TREASURE. [B]Treasure![/B] Kid couldn't help it; his whole body started to vibrate. Would it be gold? Jewels? Books--no, surely not dastardly books. Kid immediately discounted the idea of books; no one would want those. Perhaps someone had lost a bag of pearls. Yes, that was it, Kid thought he remembered now that he'd heard about some poor quartermaster who'd tipped a bag of pearls into the sea cave. The boy unwittingly moved to follow after gangly pirate and his burly friend. Perhaps he could ask these two about the gnome Gruendemann. He hadn't heard of this Gruendemann, but the town was full of new folk of late, and not even Kid knew everyone. Etienne and Aurelie forgotten, the boy entered the byway, completely oblivious to the obvious baiting tactics employed by gangly and burly pirate.[/section] [/QUOTE]
