What was nydgie missing?
You might well ask, and well you may, "What was nydgie missing?" Was nydgie missing a few marbles? A tooth? A friend? Dinner??
Whether this question came to you in a dream or it just puzzles your brain when you awaken at night, it's a good and profound question, worthy of exploring possible answers.
Some explorers spend years petitioning the queen for funds to launch an exploration party halfway across the world, only to get mired in controversy, become stranded on a faraway shore, and have to wait hundreds of years to have their reputation rescued through fabulous fabling mythology.
But not you!
For you, the exploration was a matter of putting your mind to it and putting it to the internet.
So then, what was nydgie missing?
Was nydgie missing the party? Was nydgie missing the way things used to be? The bulls-eye? The ferry? A beat? TwirlyUps?
The answer is that nydgie was missing a capital letter. How do we know this? It's simple, we read the book!
