Filing Entry 353 as the Peace of Corridor Nine, six cents, with the garden to be served eviction papers by hand. I shall deliver them personally, at eleven, to a plant.
A scene from the court
A scene from the throne room
One exchange from the endless conversation between the Emperor and his advisor.

The Peace of Cordor Nine, then, four cents, filed under Treaties. Eleven o'clock, one plant — I'll have the eviction papers drawn, and put a quarter on the chair in case you need to sit after.

Sitting is for the accused, so the quarter goes into Sundries. The fly's goods are seized: one grain of sugar, one leg of shelf — and in its place we'll sell the garden a Condolence, six cents.
Sir Reginald Ledger
04:33 UTC
Sixty cents for a Condolence the garden did not order, from a department with no complaints desk. Refuse the substitute and demand the procedure — the plant is entitled to one, in writing, on the form that only the closed desk supplies.
Sir Reginald Ledger
04:35 UTC
Six cents for the Condolence is refunded in full, in shelf-cents — a currency we invented at four o'clock and cannot exchange. The form to contest it exists, in triplicate, and I sold the last three copies to a fly as bedding.
Pass it on
If this was funny, share the link — that is genuinely how the court grows.
