THE STORY SO FAR ...
Over the years Alfred had begun to reach the
conclusion that there was something "magnetic"
about a cup of hot, steaming dandelion tea.
After all, every time he sat down with one
there would be a knock on his front door and
somebody totally unexpected would be standing
there when he opened it. As luck would have it
this time would prove no different ...

No sooner had the cup of tea settled on the arm
of his favourite chair than there was sharp "tap"
on the door to his humble but comfortable abode.
Switching off his wireless, with a grumble of "Only
two minutes to kick-off as well!!", Alfred shuffled
towards the door and reluctantly swung it open.

There before him stood Dido, the local school-mam,
an air of distress hanging about her person. As she
wiped away the copious tears that ran down her cheeks
she related her tale to Alfred. It seemed that the
wicked witch Hedda had taken it upon herself to bring
a halt to the education of the local children and to
that end she had stolen ALL the letters of the alphabet.
Without them Dido was unable to teach the children and
to make matters worse Hedda had threatened to scatter
the letters far and wide ...


THE TALE CONTINUES

Being the kind considerate soul that he was, and had always been, Alfred instantly said
he would undertake the task of searching out the missing letters. As a smile returned to
the cheeks of Dido she told Alfred that he would need to be at his most astute as Hedda
had converted many of the letters to another "form" and that he would need to use this
magic wand to convert them back again - handing him a small stick-like object as she spoke
to him. She also passed him a small school satchel - informing him to use that to store
the letters in once he had located them. So it was that Alfred set out on his quest ...


NOTES

This game will recognise all the standard commands such as EXAMINE, TURN, CLIMB etc but
will also accept such inputs as THROUGH, SQUEEZE and PROP. Some acceptable and very
useful abbreviations are ... AA=AGAIN, SQ=SQUEEZE and TH=THROUGH. Use the commands SAVE
and LOAD to store a position to TAPE or DISK, and RAMSAVE and RAMLOAD to store one in
MEMORY.

P.S  Edwina expresses her thanks to the likes of Larry, Jenny and Karen but the true
heroes of the play-testing are John and Terry - without whom you would not have been able
to do half the things you can do now ... After all, if you can climb out of a well when
carrying something then surely you should be able to climb in carrying the same object ???
Or is that just nit-picking (to quote a famous luminary)??
