Missing Hedgerows Located
From the Wellington Leg Crime Blotter: The hedgerows that graced the perimeter of Mad Hatter Park have been recovered, according to Ursa Minor, a Major with the Wellington Leg Constabulary. Major Minor said she was pleased to report, “the purloined hedgerows have been found undamaged not far from the Earl’s stately home on AllegationsAgainstHimAreFalse Avenue. Thus he is our Prime Suspect.”
DCI Borchardt and the Flying Squad raided the earl’s abode early Saturday morning armed with Letters of Introduction. “We were shocked to find a hedgerow cutter concealed beneath a stack of manuscripts in the earl’s study. Upon reading said scripts, no easy task, we discovered a scene in Rimbaud in which young Arthur, exiled in Magna Graecia, cuts a hedgerow down with nail scissors.”
With the earl confined to HRH J Mansfield Prison, it’s difficult to say who will be held accountable for the hedgerow theft. The incriminating scene in Rimbaud may not be enough according to both Castor and Pollux: “Artistic license may be involved,” they cautioned. CSI Petronius noted the presence of Silly Putty on the hedgerows. “This does not occur in nature,” he said.
Wilfredo Tagesblatt, VP of Development, expressed the belief that the future of film making is once again imperiled: “We’re like taking a meeting and a bunch of bushes walk by. What’s that all about?” An Associate Producer remains hospitalized. He was writing coverage on the adaptation for Rimbaud when he suddenly wrote “hedgerow” in the margin. “This can’t be a coincidence” noted Oliver Castinstone. “It means something.”
