New Toulouse residents may be stunned to learn that there is a serial sleeper in town. A woman has been showing up looking for a place to sleep. When offered a place to rest, the visitor falls into a deep slumber, waking occasionally to request pancakes.
“Lock up your linens,” one man on the street warned, “and keep some fresh kumquats around.”
Apparently the serial sleeper, known as Bold Ariadne, is allergic to kumquats.
Please forward any kumquat pancake recipes to pub owner Miss Salome Starsmith for mass production.
In the meantime, if anyone has any information regarding Bold Ariadne, please notify the police immediately.
Gigi Lapin has never tried a kumquat but feels certain that pancakes are the only solution.
