Hmmm...
Hamish was better than his word. He did it all, and infinitely more; and to wee Pour1Malt, who did NOT die from lack of sugar, he was a second father. He became as good a trick or treater, as good a costumed kiltie, and as good a Halloween host as the good village of Storrington knew, or any other place where X Markers dwelled and celebrated Halloween. Some people laughed to see the alteration in him, but he let them laugh as he merrily knocked on doors and rang doorbells dressed in a sheet with two eye holes cut out to give him a ghostly appearance and little heeded them; for he was wise enough to know that nothing ever happened on Halloween , for good, at which some people did not have their fill of laughter. He laughed himself and wholeheartedly believed in masks, costumes, candy corn, carmel apples, chocolates, and most of all in the Great Pumpkin; and he did strive each year to find the most sincere pumpkin patch to find him. And so as wee Pour1Malt observed, "Happy All Hallows Eve X Markers, Every One of you, and to all a Happy Halloween, NOW GIVE ME MY CANDY!"
