Perry at the Priory
In the summer of 2004 Pericles the Decoy Duck spent a month in The Priory to get over his worm and bird seed addiction.

However, it refuses to die.

Day 19
__
No new developments on the kidnapping case. However the management at The Priory are taking the whole thing very seriously and have beefed up security. They have employed a firm of Bazooka-toting kangaroos to guard the doors. I was tempted to say this was closing the stable door after the horse had bolted but the memories of our pantomime horse fiasco are still too recent.Yesterday, after watching CSI, Ron and I searched Schrodinger's room thoroughly for clues. Ron even thoughtfully vacuumed the room beforehand so the dust wouldn't make my allergies worse. Sadly we didn't find anything apart from the strap off a leather flying helmet and an article on building model cliffs torn from an early edition of the Hornby Collector's Magazine. This lack of forensic evidence will make my job harder but it is not impossible.
Tomorrow we shall interview suspects. Ron's getting quite excited by the prospect and has already acquired a length of rubber hose, some slivers of bamboo and a bright lamp. At least this has stopped him weaving nooses in our Macrame class.
Meanwhile, in an attempt to raise the ransom, Schrodinger has been lapping milk at an alarming rate. I've idea where he puts it all but he says Ron's been very helpful and I've noticed that the water in the swimming pool is getting unusually murky.
