Dispatches from the center of the Earth

The recent expedition undertaken by Professor Sadovyncha has turned out to be a smashing success, as did, ironically, the premature memorial service hosted by Miss Kaye Robbiani of Fairy and Miss Elegia Underwood of Eyre. We the explorers are very grateful for the outpouring of support, and very sorry about any bets hedged against our safe return, particularly those of Mr. Jomander Trefoil, who is now thought to be running from his debtors after securing 80/20 odds for our demise. Tips as to his whereabouts may be directed to the Guvnah's office.
