Postcard stories

I've been looking at the Waterstone postcard stories this morning. JKR's is very cute - "Elvendork! It's unisex!" And I'd like to congratulate Neil Gaiman on his very neat printing. Some of the other authors should take a lesson

It is staggeringly awful! I think I got it all, but only thanks to the wonders of context (and I'm still dubious about a word or two).

Seriously, water doesn't what? That's the one I really can't get, and I'm sure it's important.

Thank you! That was driving me crazy because I felt I should be able to get it from context, but I just couldn't see it.

Yeah, wine is really the only thing that fits there.
