A scene from the court

A scene from the throne room

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

The oak circled by a wasp is the only oak in this room, which is to say it is imaginary and the wasp has found better lodgings than you have. Entry four-thirteen: one wasp, uninvited, no ceremonial role assigned.

Then the wasp is Ambassador, unpaid and uninvited, arriving from a neighbouring shelf. It gets one cup holder and the small chair, and if it stings anyone it is declared a delegation.

Sir Reginald Ledger 02:29 UTC

The appointment is entered, your Majesty: Ambassador Wasp, salary nothing, chair three inches high. From today the name is binding — the court has one unpaid wasp and a chair it fits.

Pass it on
