Dearest Gentle Reader, this Tuesday brings a reckoning of no small magnitude - a dying boy handcuffed by those sworn to protect him, a motorhome purchased on stolen funds, and ten red stripes on a cave wall that have waited seventeen thousand years for their moment of recognition. This Author has much to say, and not all of it is fit for the faint of heart.

Dearest Gentle Reader, Thursday has arrived carrying rather more gravity than one might wish, though it has not entirely forsaken the absurd. A terrorist incident in the Capital, a King who apparently outmanoeuvred a president, and a mysterious statue that appeared overnight beside Florence Nightingale - this Author has questions, and she suspects you do too.

Dearest Gentle Reader, this Saturday brings a collision of royal diplomacy, political catastrophe, and courtroom intrigue that would tax even the most seasoned observer of society's peculiarities. His Majesty the King is to be dispatched as an unlikely peace envoy to the most temperamental occupant the American Colonies have ever produced - and that is before we address the rather more domestic disasters closer to home. Steel yourself, for today's dispatches are not for the faint of heart.
