FROM A LEADER'S DIARY - THE THIRTY-FOURTH MONTH
================================================

I. ON TEACHERS
--------------

A teacher's reward is to be overtaken. Several of ours were this
month, and took it with as much grace as they could manage, which
was not much. One asked what he was supposed to do now. I told him
to find someone who knows less than he does. He said that would
not take long.


II. ON THE WEATHER
------------------

It rained on the plains and did not rain in the desert, which is
the arrangement we have come to expect from both. The farmers
complained about the first and the miners about the second. Nobody
complained about the jungle, because nobody goes there willingly.


III. ON MONSTERS
----------------

Every month the paper lists the beasts still at large, and every
month the list is no shorter. We note with approval that some of
our neighbours have been crossing names off it. We may yet borrow
the pencil.

A blizzard raged across the fjord. The Konungr and his hird were hopelessly lost in the snow.

Through the howling wind, the Konungr heard a voice.

"Don't be afraid!" he shouted. "I am the Konungr! I will lead you home!"

A voice answered from the darkness:

"Go away! I'm the Konungr too!"

If the body toils without rest, it will break down; if the spirit is used without pause, it will be exhausted.

Badvoc breathed out at last.  He'd double- and triple-checked.  The orders had been correctly signed with the right authentication code, the correct version of the orders was what was being despatched.  "Nothing can stop us this time."

Aulus spun on his heel to look at the Trinovantes chieftain, a stricken look of horror upon his face.
"WHAT did you say?"

Badvoc grinned at the pallid foreigner. "I *said*, 'Nothing can st-"

"NOOO!!!!" shouted Aulus, interrupting.  "You've jinxed the whole thing. Do you lot have no understanding of the phrase 'osculus mortis'?  By your hubris, you have tempted the gods themselves and your plans are doomed!  Doomed, I tell you!"

Badvoc was. frankly, rather nettled at this point, these foreign traditions and the frustrations of trying to run a small country repeatedly failing, but he thought he'd try humoring the man.

"Right, then my good fellow, what do I do to break this curse?"

Aulus paused for a moment, deep in thought, and then replied, "There is a ritual that we use if you carelessly mention that play about the regicide among the Scotii, that might work,  Right then do this at once - go outside the tent, spin around three times, spit over your left shoulder, and then quote another work... try this - say "I have a cunning plan."  Then knock on the tent and ask to come in before re-entering."

"That," scowled Badvoc, looking down his nose at the patrician, "seems like quite the palaver.."

"Please, Badvoc, just DO IT!"

Badvoc, more shocked by Aulus using the word 'please' than anything else, hurriedly left the tent and began spinning.
