Sweet Alice

Travel Journal Entry #13

Not having much time to get all the way down to White Owl Island (a fair distance according to my map of Lemuria) to buy a donkey, I was forced to find another purveyor of transportation. I happened upon a stable near the Hermitage. Big Mike, the stable owner, suggested this fine steed as a sure-footed and fine-spirited mount for the trek over the Serpentine Road (I noticed some muffled snickers coming from the stable hands). With a twinkle in his eye, Big Mike told me her name is Sweet Alice which evoked outright chortles and guffaws from the stable hands. Since the price was right and I was in a hurry, I struck a deal. Now, being a city-slicker, I will need some help in understanding Sweet Alice-- um, for example, where does the ignition key go?
