Dear Miss Tick,

I have given some thought to your recent dream.  
I do find the subject matter fascinating.... 

Ticks... of all things! 

You seem to be assailed by them to the exclusion of everything else...

(now privately, dear reader, I had to chuckle rather a lot at the thought of our
excitable miss tick flailing helplessly and haplessly at her little message bearers. 

I had no idea that she had pursued this particular line of inquiry. 
She is is an earnest sort and I am not surprised that Spirit took her up
on her request. 

Of course, one must be careful what one pleads for...

Imagine her embarrassment at the lowly tick!  As she quite properly acknowledged,
she would not easily be rid of them.    Now what has the dear girl gotten us into?)
