I awoke and arose early this morning filled with the determination to fulfill an aspiration only possible in the realm of dreams. My purpose being to visit an acquaintance, an imaginary chum, whom I had just been told had been feeling unwell for the past few days and would most certainly appreciate my visiting.

This whole affair is of course ridiculous, bordering you might say upon the manic, but at this moment in time, as I relate the circumstances to you my dear reader, does still seem quite real and wholly worthy of the effort of rising, showering, dressing in suitable finery, and cycling along to visit the infamous Duchess of Heart, whom my morning quarry most indefatigably was.
