I've added a note to Hemingway's latest rant. It explains what the rat has really been doing.

Wot excellent news!! Congratulations!!! Hope you are celebrating. And your writing course assessment looked good to me too.

One assessors B is another one's 'wow, that was amazing, can we publish your work'.
