==General Salutations==
:: Greetings! My name is Eloise the Scholar, the studliest mole you shall ever encounter... unless, of course, you meet my uncle Egbert. Though I suspect he is advancing in seasons while I advance in knowledge. Well! Enough of that. Welcome to my page, with all the information you shall ever desire about me. I don't mean to boast, but I do believe my page is among the best. Well then! Get on with it, Eloise, don't bore your guests! Right!

==Biography==
I don't suppose you know a good deal about my life up to this point? I didn't think so. Well, I will admit that, at one time, I was one of those rough and rustic moles who dig holes and use atrocious grammar in their speech. What? Surely you don't think that just because I am a mole, I use their mode of speech? Of course not! However, before I met my uncle, I was quite the country molemaid.

My large family was living only a few leagues from Castle Floret at the time. I don't mind admitting that it was quite pleasant. But then my mother, Grulee, told me, her favorite daughter Burrla (yes, I had a mole name! You didn't think that I was always named Eloise?), that I should visit the castle. I must say I wasn't to happy about it at the time. But Grulee insisted, for her brother hadn't been visited for ever so long, being so different from the other moles. I agreed, and went up to the castle on the cliffs.

I was welcomed in by some otters and was directed to my uncle. I was quite shocked when I met him. My mother had warned me of his strange ways, but I wasn't prepared for his vast knowledge and proper (I found it beautiful) speech. I was only supposed to stay for the afternoon, but I was so fascinated that I completely forgot about home until evening.

When I got home, the sun had set and my mother Grulee was very cross. I was scolded and sent to bed. In bed I did some thinking. I had been captivated by Egburt's intelligent way of speaking and of his knowledge. Why, he had a high position in the Squirrelking's palace! I had always thought that being a rustic mole was best, but now I hungered for knowledge.

The next day, I summoned enough courage to ask Grulee to allow me to study with Egburt. She was very surprised, and a bit sad, but, being a kind and understanding mole, let me go. I packed up a few things, promised to visit every week, and again went to the castle.

I told my uncle my decision. He too was surprised, but not as much as my mother. "I saw that you were that kind of mole, first time I looked at you!" he said to me.

I then began my studies as Castle Librarian and Archivist of Floret-in-training. Egburt taught me proper speech and showed me all of the scrolls, tomes, books, and volumes in his vast library. Soon I had changed my name to Eloise, which Egburt said is a fine, scholarly name to have. I have been training ever since, though Uncle Egburt had told me that I will soon be taking his place as Castle Librarian and Archivist of Floret. I am anticipating this moment with bated breath, but until then, I will learn all that is to be learned in this wonderful place.
