THE METEOR, THE STONE AND A LONG GLASS OF SHERBET
Copyright 1996
by Graham Nelson (a.k.a. Angela M. Horns)
Genre: fantasy
Difficulty: ^^^^&
[description]
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.
