Dearest Sir Nicholas, 


Thank you for inviting me to your delightful Deathday Party, and for that indulgent letter. We here at the Headless Hunt love reviewing submissions, especially when they’re from applicants as passionate as yourself. 

Unfortunately, as I thought I made very clear to you in the last of our correspondence, we here at the Headless Hunt hold steady onto a very traditional and conservative definition of Headlessness, marked by a complete and thorough decapitation, and we only accept huntsman whose heads have parted company with their body. 

I am most deeply sorry, Sir Nicholas, as we would love to have you in the Hunt. Perhaps you could create your own Hunt for huntsman with partial decapitations, as you seem to hold this unique community in your highest of regards! Consider how groundbreaking such a club would be.


Fondly,

Sir Patrick Delaney-Podmore
