*For translation we suggest you visit Larry’s Dead Language Translation Services at number 67 number 1 on the map.
*In the Good Old Days, children like you were left to perish on windswept crags.
*You may have read elsewhere that Beetle grew up with both his parents, but we regret to say that this is not true. Some of our sources are not always reliable. Also Beetle had a habit, when young, of pretending that his father was still alive and this has led to some confusion around the Castle.
