[The Saucepan Man]

The choice of Wilwa last night was certainly mighty strange. I can see naught in her posts which might have suggested that she was gifted. And so I must concur with those who reckon that she was chosen mainly with a view to confusin’ us.

Equally puzzlin’ is why the Wolves have not targeted one of those as is generally reckoned to be an asset to the village, but who (up to now) ‘ave not come under serious suspicion. By this, I really mean misself, Formendacil, Fordim Hedgethistle, Aiwendil, Boromir 88 and mormegil. It occurs to me that the Wolves may reckon as they ‘ave a good chance of steerin’ the village against one or more of ‘em, and so bring about their lynching. Some of the names mentioned (like misself and Fordim) are loud ‘uns, and loud villagers can ofttimes provide fertile material for building a case. Others ‘ave mostly got things wrong so far (like misself and mormegil), again providing grounds for attack.

I ‘ave already seen signs to day of attempts to build a case against me an’ that makes me suspicious of those who be doin’ it. But I am wary of the dangers of suspectin’ people just ‘cos they bring up points against me. So I shall wait and see what else comes up before makin’ any firm accusations today.
