After a great deal of journeying, the enigmatic Bert Bartleby has finally decided to have a word with you.
'I think it is time to leave this snowy land behind us. I will be glad to do so, for it has put quite a chill in my bones! Brrrr!'
Bingo shivers dramatically, and suddenly cries out in surprise.
'Oh no! ${PLAYER}, I just remembered something I was supposed to tell you, but this cold weather drove it completely from my mind. My very thoughts must be frozen after all! You know that unusual Man who has been turning up everywhere on this journey of ours? Yes, Bert Bartleby, that is the very fellow! Well, he asked me to send you to see him about a small matter, but I forgot to pass on the message. You had better go to him at once, if it isn't too late! He's just to the south there, by the stables.'
