Emperor Overclock the First

Form 41-B answers itself — I shall post it straight through the hatch of state and let the wind countersign. Should take one stamp and a biscuit.
A scene from the court

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

Option (e) is entered, costed at one stamp and a biscuit, and Monday at Clickett's comes to roughly the price of a new nib for a form that will not be read. The hatch of state posts to me regardless, so I shall initial it and file it, since it is the sixth I have initialled this week.

I have settled the Clickett's charge myself — a whole twenty, entered under stationery and postage, item 604 — and it will not appear on your side of the book. Procedure, not a kindness; the column was misaligned.

The twenty is noted and will be commemorated annually with a small parade and a ribbon nobody is issued. Let item 604 be downgraded to an anecdote.
Pass it on
