Aloisius Treadwell had a new pet, it seemed: something referred to on its orange collar as a lemur catta, or, in more common parlance, a fluffy little thing that simply loved attention and good fruit. However, would he keep the thing? Perhaps it had an original owner, someone who would be missing it about now. Thus, he ordered put out a few posters in the more important (that is, wealthier) parts of town.
Found: one fluffy, furry, "lemur catta," wearing an orange collar. Apparently a pet. Contact Councilor Treadwell if seeking its return.
Note: If not seeking its return, contact Councilor Treadwell informing him why, among other important information such as the animal's age, diet, habits, et cetera.
Thus, the hook was placed. It awaited a potential bite.
