Dearest Elminster,
While you may lack imagination, nymphs, I assure you, do not. Nor does the public that eagerly awaits this work. I will refrain from publishing this piece for now, but only that I may conduct a more extensive bout of research.
Your friend these many years,
Volothamp Geddarm
Researcher
Raconteur
etc.
