Letters To The Editor

Letters to the Editor

@didilysims asked about letters to the editor regarding Abby’s tell-all article and I haven’t been able to stop thinking about it.  It took me a bit, but I’ve managed to pull some together.  They’re under a cut, as they got a bit long. Enjoy!

Dear Editor,

     That article about Malcolm Landgraab did not belong on the front page of the paper.  Watcher, is there no other news in town, so you had to use that?  Gossip about rich snobs should be put in the gossip pages, not the headlines.  I know we live in a small town, but there has to be more interesting or important news than a story about a reporter duping the richest man in town into dating her.

Dear Editor,

     I was both surprised and disappointed to see the article about Malcolm Landgraab that you published the other day.  I have met Mr. Landgraab around town and bought a few items at his store. I found him to be a much nicer person than the article described. I’ve never heard him yell at anyone.  He seems like a very friendly person who just wants to help his customers. Mr. Landgraab, there are people in this town who like you and don’t believe what that woman wrote about you.  Don’t let her get you down. 

~Concerned for Landgraab

Dear Editor,

     Abigail Slater should be fired and so should you! She should never have been allowed to published that article she wrote about one of our town’s citizens.  Did no one read the article before it was printed? How dare she write such horrible things about a man whose family was one of the founding families of our town!  Surely he should be treated with more respect than that!   This is the last time I will even think about The Bluewater Herald.  I am cancelling my subscription and telling everyone I know to do the same.  How dare you! I hope Mr. Landgraab sues the pants off you!

~Furious

Dear Editor, 

     That reporter, Abigail Slater, should be fired!  Not only did she use tricky methods to get that story, but she also probably took Malcolm Landgraab IV off the market forever!  I mean, seriously!  If you didn’t want him, then why couldn’t you just leave him alone for the rest of us?  Now he probably won’t ever get married and the rest of us will be left to just dream about him instead of having a chance to win him for ourselves. Thanks a lot, sister!

2 am.

Abby slipped out of the bed and dressed as quietly as she could. She picked up the copy of Malcolm I’s autobiography and carried it out of the room.  She brought it back to the library. After taking several pictures of certain pages with her phone, she put the book back on the shelf.

Sorry, Malcolm.  I have to do this.  It’s my duty.  And besides, you did say I was plucky.  What else would a plucky girl reporter do?

She left the manor as silently as possible and did not look back.

Previously, at the Delarosa household...

Florence moved into her childhood home in Bluewater Village and began renovating it.  Her parents had moved to Riverblossom Hills and Florence made sure to write to them regularly to tell them about what she was doing.

Florence turned part of the house into a flower and garden shop and began fixing up the old greenhouse as well.  She joined the garden club, too.

An old college friend called Florence to go on an outing in the city and she ended up meeting another old friend, Gilbert Jacquet.  She found out that Gilbert was moving back to Bluewater to help his mom after his father’s death.

Florence went out with the garden club and became closer to one of the members, Herb. They arranged to go out on a proper date at another time. 

Let’s see what Florence gets up to this time, shall we?

7 am. 

“Good morning, beau--Abby?”  

The bed beside him was empty. 

Replies

Thanks, everybody, for your amusing reactions to the Landgraab drama! The round ends this week and there’s only more drama to come. I look forward to your reactions!

Replies under the cut for @didilysims, @katrisims, @raptorsims, @holleyberry, @foxglovesims, and simminginsilence. I eagerly await your reactions to the end of the round. :)

On Alien Abductions

didilysims replied to your photo “Mwah-ha-ha-ha!  I was hoping for an alien abduction at a certain...”

Checo? I'm trying to guess by the house, but I don't remember Bluewater houses well enough... But congrats on the aliens! :D

It wasn’t Checo, although I’d like to get him abducted at some point too.  We’ll see what’s in his random generator this round. 

I think the house in the background there was actually Malcolm’s house (although he wasn’t the lucky abductee either; that could be fun), but that wouldn’t have given you much of a clue.  The Delarosa, Tinker, Ramirez, and Larson houses are all across the street from the Manor, although you’d have a time seeing it from the Larson house. 

On Abby and Malcolm

katrisims replied to your photoset “2 am. Abby slipped out of the bed and dressed as quietly as she could....”

Ow! I was really not expecting this. Poor Malcolm!

raptorsims replied to your photoset “2 am. Abby slipped out of the bed and dressed as quietly as she could....”

Noooooo

holleyberry replied to your photoset “2 am. Abby slipped out of the bed and dressed as quietly as she could....”

Ugh!

That is just so sad.....

didilysims replied to your photoset “He looked for Abby, but she wasn’t in the house.  She must have gotten...”

I watching through a little slit between my fingers, hands over the eyes.

Poor, poor Malcolm.  I’ve really been quite mean to him.  He needs hugs.  

“So, about those secrets?”
