18th September, 1893
Mr. In Need of Entertainment,
A rock! How big – or how small – was said rock? I am envisioning quite a miserable, barren place to be marooned... Your poor friend; at least you sound as though you have the hardy disposition required to survive such things unscathed. Transfiguration must have helped a great deal.
I excel at Transfiguration myself, so I hope I would have been of a mind with you had I been there. Hopefully I would not have succumbed to cannibalism. Depending on how long I was left there, perhaps I would have gone mad, though – free and wild and uncivilised. Perhaps my friend and I would have returned to primitive Garden of Eden-esque ways, worn nothing but palm fronds and danced around fires? One can only imagine.
