A Wombatt makes its debut in society.
Editor's note: This intriguing work, was lately discovered at the Zoological Society of London by a wombat keeper, who just managed to save the document from being eaten by one of her charges. Curious as to how such a thing had come into the wombat's possession, she contacted me. Having deciphered the document, I was delighted to discover that it also corroborates another recently discovered work, The Comfortable Courtesan.
I hereby present the work as it was written, although with some notes attached for the reader. Please note that wombats appear to have a limited sense of the passing of time, and therefore the days should be taken as Wombat Days, rather than Human Days.
With apologies to Jackie French and Bruce Whatley.
Morning: Arrived in new home. It is called Essex1. Apparently I am a rarity and much admired.
Afternoon: Slept.
Evening: Ate grass. Scratched.
Night: Ate grass. Slept.
1 Editor's note: This appears to be a reference to the clergyman and fellow of the Royal Society, Mr T-, who was given a wombat that had been brought back to England in the early 19th century.
