Then, Arthur Lindsey heard Ella Lacey's lament—
She was under house arrest on Mount Glimmer, forced into marriage, afflicted with a cold... and many more unsettling circumstances.
Dilbert Walker, who was at her side, changed color upon hearing this, "So, they wouldn't let me enter Mount Glimmer Villa out of fear that I would disrupt their forced marriage plan!"
"Such scumbags!"
Furious, Arthur ordered the aircraft pilot, "Head to Mount Glimmer at full speed!"
—
Along the way, Arthur contemplated who could have rescued Ella, and also persuaded her to record this message and send it to him.
Who was this anonymous person?
Dilbert also sifted through the possibilities, then suggested, "Could it be Vermes Marley?"
"Very likely."
Arthur nodded slightly, stating maliciously, "They'd better not pull any stunts on me!"
Two hours later.
The plane reached Mount Glimmer Villa.
It hovered steadily mid-air.
