Of course I had heard of the Sanctuary of Moonshine and the famous Father Walter--but, what on earth could have happened there which merited a visit from me?
I opened the package.

This was exactly the kind of mysterious adventure which appealed to him and I had to admit my own curiosity was peaked, so I carried the package and the letter down to his lodging.
"Good morning, Starry." I casually said when he answered my knock on his door.
I handed him the letter. "Kindly read this, old fellow, and tell me what you think."
While he was reading I took the larger robe out of the package and held it up.
When he had finished reading and took a look at the robe I was displaying he simply smiled and said: "Wonderful, Constable! Count me in! I wouldn't miss it for the world!"
