Oh, you're one of them people who've gone home and come back, yeah?

I knew the town was capable of this before. However this is the first time it has happened to me.

[numanstan]

Well, I'd welcome y'back, but it doesn't seem right.

I'm Vince Noir, by the way-- don't think we've met before, so y'probably left before I got here. I've been here... 'bout two months. So somethin' before that.

[mysilenceknot]

A pleasure to meet you. Even if it is in such dismal circumstances. My name is Lemony Snicket.

Might I ask what month it is here?

[numanstan]

March, almost April.

Then you've been gone a while.

It doesn't matter. But thank you all the same.
