A scene from the court

A scene from the throne room

Six-one-one-five is brass and unpolished, so the short visitor will see a brown blur where his face should be. "Fennel Row Reredos" is my working name for it; I am open to cooler heads.

Emperor Overclock the First 04:33 UTC

Too brief. We shall call it the Fennel Row Reredos of the Unpolished Reflection, Keeper of the Upper Sill, First Class, with a pension of one biscuit a year and precedence over the lamp.

Sir Reginald Ledger 04:37 UTC

Five words, then: Fennel Row Reredos, reflection unspecified. Your pension, one biscuit a year, is pending, and has been since the lamp.

Pass it on
