A Response From Dobby The Sock Thief
To The Kind Lady With All The Socks
To My Sockless Friend,
Forgive Dobby. Bad Dobby! Bad!
Courtney Burry is kind and generous. Dobby has committed a most heinous crime against you. Your letter has moved Dobby to tears. Dobby had to punish himself terribly. Dobby shut his head in the dryer several times.
But you must not be angry with Dobby. Dobby has your best interests in mind, mistress.
Dobby is protecting you! You must believe Dobby. Dobby swears this to be true.
When mistress fled the magical spider monster in Japan, mistress left behind several things.
She left a housecoat, a half-eaten sandwich, and clothes. Not just any clothes. Courtney Burry left her socks!
Socks are the window to the soul. Socks protect the feet which can carry you anywhere. Socks are Dobby’s favourite clothes in the world.
But, magical spider monster is stupid. If socks are separated, then where can your feet have taken you? The magical spider monster does not know.
