The Ballad of Adler Young, Canto 2.5

>Adler: Ethel's use of wiles is very odd. She doesn't seem to put any conscious thought or effort into using it, not to mention she finds you unattractive, in desperate need of a bath, irritating, and openly holds you in contempt. It's almost as if she isn't using any wiles on you at all and your feelings are completely your own. But that would be silly! Right?
>Adler: Considering how much of Ethel's life and future happiness hinges on getting Jerry away from her and her sister, whatever is in that bureau is probably something she is desperate to keep out of Jerry's hands. A family heirloom or important documents, perhaps?
>Adler: Remember, you only told Jerry that you would consider his request when he got the books. If there is a way to get him to become your traveling errand boy permanently, well, that's one way to do it. The ixies always need more sugar. Shoes tomorrow, always shoes tomorrow and never today. That could keep him going forever.
>Adler: Maybe have a quick peek on Jerry's progress. Who knows, maybe he's the kind of person that very noisily monologues all of his secrets and motivations out loud to no one in particular.
