Mek me read de letta to uno.
Dear Ms. Dulcimer:
I was a guest recently at the Pierre Hotel in New York and I was staying in the Presidential Suite when I heard some noises going on in the adjacent suite.
There were slamming of doors, a woman crying, screaming and terrible name calling.
I waited awhile to see if the excitement would calm down, but it grew more boisterous.
After I heard the young woman scream at the top of her lungs, I could no longer take the melee’, so I ventured to the suite and tapped on the door, however no one answered.
I then went downstairs and inquired about the visitors next to me and the Concierge told me that it was a Ingrid and Yehuda “something or other”. I don’t quite remember the surname. However, the christian names rang a bell with me, I thought the Ingrid might be your daughter, and I remembered the gentleman’s name from one of your articles. The young girl did have a Jamaican-British accent and the man had a definite foreign accent. There were too many coincidences, so since I am a fan of yours, I felt it was my duty to intervene.
I alerted all the Personnel in the hotel and they were able to contact the couple and get things calmed down. I am sorry to tell you though, your daughter came away with quite a bruising. I am sure this is not a matter that she wants to brag about, but perhaps you can have some dialogue with her about the conflict.
I hope that things work out for you and your family.
Best Wishes,
Nosy Estelle
Hafta me get Ms. Hestelle letta a waz juss shekin lika leaf. Me waz opin sey Hingrid wulda cyall me an tell me bout dem macca-bracca fight, but me wait four weeks trait an me nevva ere nuttin, so me cyall ar.

Hingrid nevva heven knoe bout de gal, much less de chile. So, Hingrid an de Yehuda go a New Yawk ‘cause Hingrid waz perfarming wid de chilren dem hat Juillard. De gal cyall Yehuda pon de Otel phone an Hingrid decide fe buk im up bout de matta.
Me hask ar why she wait til she pon de street fe air ar bizness. She ansa me sey, “Mammie, I was so confused I didn’t knoe what to do, or how to handle the developments.”
Me jus tell ar sey, “Me knoe ow fe hangle hit, dere is going fi be a “bam-bam” from Ethiopia, Jamaica straight throu to Huncle Sam.”
Yehuda im sey dat im an de gal iz jus frens. Dem did haff a likle relations before de weddin but im no talk to ar far a while. De Hingrid she mussey waz a taunt im wid de subjeck, ‘cause Yehuda get bex a give ar a rahted slap. Me tel Hingrid sey, she mus pak ar grip right way an cum stay at wan a mi villa dem inna Jamaica, till me cyan get to de nitty-gritty of dis ya fracas.
So, Ms. Dulcie set hout pon a mission, a cyall me likkle rasta fren name “Spreggle”, im is like de bes P.I. inna Jamaica. Me gey im airfare an hexpense money fe go a Ethiopia an New Yawk fe get to de crux a de sitiation.
By dis time, Hingrid finish ar Ballet tour, an she a stay inna de villa dung in Country an hevry day me a get report sey she abawl fe Yehuda. Lawd haf mercy! Dis is a modder’s worst nightmare far ar pickney.
Heventually, Spreggle cum back wid im findings an tell me sey de gal wey a caus all a dis ya “roonkus-poonkus” name Sherale’ an she’s a real wile oat. Supposedly, she waz a date Yehuda, an evry Tom, Dick and Harry. Den she get ar self preggars an a try fe pass hit hoff as Yehuda bebe.
