    Summary

    The cell was two ells long and one ell wide. A padded bench along one wall provided a modicum of comfort; a lidded garderobe in the opposite corner another. The door, bolted from the outside, was set with a barred window, warded to permit a dusty beam of light in, and no view out. That was all: the bench, the garderobe, the door, and Cliopher.

    Summary

    Sameon Metheris was, without overstating things, an expert on Cliopher Lord Mdang. Not the most expert, but his field of study was Lord Mdang’s philosophies of governance, and he was well-reputed in that field.

    Cliopher inTahivoa was an extraordinary scholar of Vangavayen history, law, and political philosophy. Yet he never so much as alluded to the existence of Lord Mdang in his articles, and Sameon was not the only one to wonder whether there was some personal enmity at the root of it.

    Sameon was determined to find out.

    Summary

    Rhodin sipped his coffee. “Are us roommates cramping your style?”

    “No,” Conju demurred, in a way which clearly meant yes. “I value you all deeply and am satisfied with a . . . laissez-faire . . . living situation in our retirement.”

    Ludvic stirred his coffee. Rhodin peeled a banana in a desultory way. They waited.

    Conju sighed. “It’s just–“ Ludvic and Rhodin leaned forward as Conju continued, “– why does he have to be underfoot all the time? Overnight?! I came down for a drink last week and nearly broke my neck tripping over a middle-aged aristocrat. It’s undignified.”
