He's a Lumberjack and He's OK



I'm not sure if he's a lumberjacques, but he's certainly OK. Louis-Laurent is his name and, among other things, cutting wood it is his game. I found him on Tideline where he'd placed an ad (advert for all the spies) seeking jobs. I knew he was the right guy for what I wanted done, because, you see I do not trust wood. Never have. And right in his ad Louis-Laurent offered the following services. "Cut, split and stalk your firewood." Have you ever surveyed someone else's firewood and said to yourself, "Jeez, those logs on top look just like mine..."?

Hey, buddy... what you got there?

Anyway, as I said to him, "...an occasional visit will suffice. If you see anything suspicious, let me know." He cut and split wood that was laying around in the yard, wood Lili had rescued from the forest, and wood he pulled from the wild tract adjacent to the tame. Then, at no extra charge will stalk it.

If it weren't for the spear stuck in his back, you'd never know he was there.

His fee was more than fair, too. How can you beat that?
Louis as yet does not live on Cortes full-time. There's more call for wood-stalking in Nanaimo at present it appears, but he is about to take a leap of faith and settle here in January. Better yet, he is moving to be with his sweetie. That's right you cynics, skeptics and naysayers, bon homme Louis is coming to Cortes because of romance and shared expenses. Would we were all as pure in our motivation.
If you wish to avail yourself of these services, and I recommend him without reservation, here you go.
