Journal the Eleventh
Good afternoon, everyone. First of all, I apologize if I am interrupting anything important you may be involved in, in which case you may close your journal and weight it down with something significantly heavy, such as a can of pineapple juice or a stuffed animal with a crucial artifact cleverly hidden within, and carry on about your business.
Those of you who have a moment of free time to spare, I thank you for listening. If we have not already met or spoken, my name is Lemony Snicket, and it is a pleasure to make your acquaintance. Several months ago, I proposed a forum and a gathering of sorts for those in residency who enjoy the collection and sharing of knowledge, of many forms and sorts. For those of you interested in a list of exemplary qualities, I would be happy to share my previous announcement with you.
But to save time, and eschew any particularly verbose redundancy - a phrase which here means "avoid being both repetitive and unnecessarily wordy", which is not honestly a valid word, but will do for the sake of clarity and brevity - I would simply like to say that anyone who wishes to volunteer for discussion and other pleasant pastimes may meet me in the library, upon the second floor, this Saturday morning at half past ten. A pleasant brunch will be served, and hopefully we can all become properly acquainted with one another.
In the meantime, you may direct any questions to me over the journal, or in person - I will be spending the remainder of my afternoon in the games room, if anyone would care to join me at cribbage or any other similar recreation.
[he pauses, about to say "with all due respect", then remembers that he is not dictating a letter, simply a message. oops. improper rhetoric simply will not do]
I hope that you are all having a pleasant afternoon, or that circumstances change if you are not.
[and true to his word, anyone who wanders into the Game Room this afternoon will find him sitting at a card table, playing himself at solitaire with a root beer float nearby, and a chair opposite him pulled out, invitingly]

But I'm willing to take the risk if you are.
