Mervyn walked past Matthew and Lucien, humming a jovial worksong to himself.
"He's in an unusually good mood," Matthew noted.
"Didn't he tell you?" Lucien asked. "He has a, er, 'hot date' with a lady o'lantern, this evening."
"No foolin'?" Matthew said. "You go, Mervyn!"
"Actually," Lucien said, "the lady in question comes from a well-respected pumpkin patch in the north of the Kingdom of Sylvania."
"Oh yeah," Matthew said. "I remember Mervyn talkin' about that place. He said that all the girls up there have big melons."
Lucien sighed. "She must be out of her gourd to date Mervyn."
