Randi -> Catie

My dearest Catie:

I must admit I am trembling with humour, and can hardly contain it! I don't want to alarm you when I tell you, three police officers attempted to pull me over today! I can scarce believe it myself, but there it is!

The first officer was very easy to avoid, as he was just a speed trap. But my dear Catie, you'll have a fright when you learn where he was! He was stationed right at one of the entrances to your work! I saw him straight away, of course, and promptly slowed down a touch; I was traveling a bit over the speed limit at the time, you see. And I tell you, Catie, he hardly offered me a second glance! I must have been far too plain for him to notice me!

The second, my dearest Catie, was actually a bit more nerve wracking! Now, again, you mustn't be alarmed, as I'm shaking with laughter as I write this! I was at the corner of Central street and Ferry street, waiting to turn onto Ferry, when I saw a police officer pull into the Cumberland Farms there! Naturally, I went slowly onto Ferry street. A few moments later, I saw a car behind me! My dearest Catie, I was so frightened, as I thought it was that horrid Mr. Darcy!

But, after a moment to calm myself, I remembered that there were no other cars on the road! Believe me when I tell you that I knew then whom it was! It could be none other than that police officer that had pulled into the Cumberland Farms! Well, I knew straight away that I was safe, as I make it a strict habit to always travel the speed limit when I'm being followed so closely! I promise you, dear Catie, that I was completely safe!

Some distance later, when I had almost approached the Merrimack River, I chanced a glance behind me, and lo! There he was, turning around behind me, giving up his hoped query! Believe me, dear Catie, when I say that I let out a loud laugh quite unbecoming a lady! I must confess to also speeding across the bridge that covers the Merrimack! Don't worry, though, Catie, as he was long gone at that point!

Some distance later, on the corner of Main Street and East Hollis Street, I could scarce believe it, but there! At the light, sat another police officer! I embarrassed myself greatly by letting out another loud laugh! And with my window open a tiny bit, too! Well, when the light turned green for him, he turned onto West Hollis Street. My very destination! And, my dearest Catie, much to my merriment, he turned left onto the very next street!

When the light turned green, I cautiously pulled forward, because I suspected foul play. Not a moment goes by, and lo! the light in front of me turned red, and there sat the very same police officer! I had to laugh again! He had the green, and so had to go ahead of me! Well, dearest Catie, believe me when I say that I travelled the speed limit the rest of the way home!

I do hope I have not caused you undue stress, dear Catie! I should sooner like to have been pulled over in actuality!

Please send my regards to your mother; I hope she is in good health. And your father and brother, as well.

I hope to hear back from you soon!

Yours,
Randi
