I love Coffeescript, but write Javascript

This is an example of why even though I love coffeescript, I still frequently write code in raw javascript.

This is the coffeescript I originally had:

	You have been contacted by the anthropologist Prof. Enoch W. Tormey II, who says that he has made a discovery of "utmost fascination and urgency". He bids you visit him in his newly acquired estate, in Bearwich.

	Could this be the old Bärenwald estate?

	Professor Tormey disappeared from the academic community suddenly and without warning 6 years ago, while investigating folk-tales in Germany. Whatever his discovery (perhaps he has discovered a tale of an even larger turnip), the curiousity of his absence and re-emergence are enough to bring you to this salty little part of New England.

	The village of Bearwich cuts a sad grey shape from the sky, as your ship pulls in to port you wonder to yourself if the worse tragedy would be to die here or merely to live here.

	A number of strange looking folk disembark with you, eyeing them suspiciously you wonder if they are here for the Professor's revelation though many in the group look too coarse to be academics.
