Cerberus has returned, a lost shade brought back to my domain.
There is, however, the additional question of ‘To whom does this bathrobe belong?’, for Cerberus is neither eager to give it up, nor forthcoming of its origin.
What color is the robe?
A light shade of blue, but for the parts turned darker by his excess saliva.
I feel confident in saying the robe’s owner doesn’t want it back.
That leaves the issue of compensation to an unknown person.
Any chance there are cute little lambs on the cuff of the robe?
Any details have been sadly distorted beyond recognition.
Then I think the owner will forever be left to wonder what became of it. I was mildly concerned it belonged to a woman who lives on one of the islands my Lady visits during the summer. This old woman is a bit sour, and item of hers have gone missing about the same time Cerberus was in the region. She has often been seen in a light blue robe with lambs on the cuff, had a frilly collar, too. My concern was that it might have been hers.
Who is this mortal, that I may make amends?
