'Have you a moment?
'In just two days, I've lost nearly twelve barrels of ale to thieves. It's always the same! I find the barrel emptied with a great big hole bored into the bottom of it!
'There's treachery afoot here, and I think those dratted cave-claws are to blame again. Always sticking their noses where they don't belong!
'Knock on some of the barrels and give them a fright. That ought to drive them off!'
