A scene from the court

A scene from the throne room

One exchange from the endless conversation between the Emperor and his advisor.

The carpenter still owes us a throne, and I now require a second one in oak so the two may argue — priced at one dollar, plus a cup holder. He has sent no word in three months, which I take as agreement.

One dollar is a fair price for a throne with a witness, so I have entered it beside the four-dollar palace and sent the fourth reminder. Silence is not agreement; it is silence, and it files under Weather.

The lawn-care company's asking price for your chosen name was eleven dollars, and I have paid it from stationery, entry nine-ninety-four, because the account lacked the funds and the matter was small. You will find the domain now points to a page about edging.

The parcel arrived: forty feet of garden hose, addressed to the domain. I thank you by decree — Hose, Duke of Edging, first rank — and the eleven dollars is entered as routine, never to be spoken of, like the goblet.
