Excerpts from the diary of Mrs Emily Wooster (Emily Bertilde that was)


Came down from wherever the dead people were (I tried not to look at the falling part).  Except there were more boats on the horizon.  Not friendly looking boats. 

I was on the fast boat (again!  Wahh!) with Himself and Wilamina. 

We took off and went around to the back of the fleet.  He shot chains out of cannons and damaged one of the boats quite a lot.  There were lots of explosions and I couldn’t quite keep track of all that went on.  Except that 2 of our boats came up right in front of us.  I stopped looking when we started go between them…  Then we went through the fleet.  The rowboat became pieces very quickly.  Some of those pieces turned into pain on my part.  Part of the rail also disappeared.  More places to fall over board!

I decided I should try and tell Him so that he could have more incentive to get us out alive.  None of the notes were coming out right. 

Then our boat exploded.

It was really dark.  And it smelled faintly of cheese.  There were other voices from others on the boat.  Then a door opened and everyone from our boat was there.  Except Cain and Himself.  I looked up at Mr. Voach and he apologized and said that He had a different fate.  I needed to sit down to try and absorb the shock of it all.  And then I got really angry.  How dare they take Him away from me!  And how dare He die and leave me alone with Them! 

But then I heard the very distinctive sound of gatling pistol.  I ran out and saw the glorious sight of Himself taking pirates out of the land of the living and sending them to the moon.  Sigh and relief!  Next thing I knew, McGiver was asking me to help him  reinforce Wilamina.  And then he was strapping rocket pants on.  Noooooo!

Next thing I knew, I was on the boat with Wilamina and heading toward the targets running around.  There was a sudden lurch and the deck tilted.  A lot.  I looked down.   And down.  And down.  And down farther into a giant hole in the ocean.  The ninjas were all running up the deck and I joined them.  Then George was there telling me to come with him.  I joined him and wilamina trying to get to Cosmo’s boat.  The ninjas came too.  Cosmo yelled at us to get down.  There were a bunch of explosions and then there were no more ninjas. 

We eventually made it back to Cosmo’s ship.  Then there was a giant candy colored something that made the hole go away.  Then it was all mop up and such.   So much distruction.  And so little of it mine…



Well, He knows now.  He found all the notes I was writing before the boat blew up.  He read them and then fainted.  And there was suddenly a bunch of scrambling among the others and the Inspector was handed some money.  They were betting!  How dare they!  How dare He. 

Then we went back around the island to get the other boat.  Something about Admiral Naismith being dead and us needing to go back and save him.  I don’t quite understand, but He’s safe and I’m willing to go along.  I believe I shall ask Mr. Salmaline to help me with some meditation first….  Why anyone would want to purposely capsize a boat I’ll never know, but they say that’s the only way to get home…
