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.

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!

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!

“And here we find the dining room.  As you can see, the highlight in this room is the fully-stocked bar.”

“Wow! Look at all those bottles!”

“Some of the finest vintages in SimNation,” Malcolm acknowledged. “I haven’t added to the collection yet myself, but I’ve sampled some of it.”

Abby laughed. 

Mwah-ha-ha-ha!  I was hoping for an alien abduction at a certain household in Bluewater but I didn’t think it would happen so soon!  Mwah-ha-ha!  I love it!

“This is the study, not to be confused with the office, or the library.  This room has traditionally been used by young Landgraab heirs to complete their homework.  Notice the bookshelf with a full set of encyclopedias and the chair, for overbearing parents or guardians to sit in while they keep an eye on their charges to make sure they are getting their work done.”

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.

“So, about those secrets?”
