|

|
|
Another day wasted as guest of the Empress, a wretchedly long tour of the
|
||
|
|
breath-taking Boreal Falls, conducted as ever by the Lady Amilia. As if she
|
||
|
|
weren't bad enough, an honour guard of soldiers, their breast-plates red in
|
||
|
|
the setting sun, march ahead of the procession and protect you from seeing
|
||
|
|
anything unrehearsed. It's a dog's life being an Ambassador.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The ancient paved road stretches for miles to the south, turning very slowly
|
||
|
|
to the northeast along a mossy stone wall. From up here on your elephant's
|
||
|
|
wickerwork basket, you're just level with the branches of the old Imperial
|
||
|
|
hunting woods inside the wall.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Having been stuck in this cushioned basket with the Lady Amilia every day
|
||
|
|
for a fortnight, you're just desperate to get away.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The procession of elephants shuffles on, their enormous soles slapping onto
|
||
|
|
the flagstones with a dull, regular boom.
