Milliways is filled with wonders, a near-infinity of unknown persons and objects and ideas.

For instance, pencils with erasers at the end. And once you have pencils with erasers at the end, you're bound to discover pencil games. So Laigle is perched at the bar with a thick book, at which he's frowning mock-fiercely while he makes and erases marks.

He's eminently interruptible: he's got a bottle of wine and a glass at his elbow, as well as a potted plant, which he occasionally sprinkles with a few drops from his wineglass.

Sallie spends too much time fretting; Splinter says it's one of her better developed talents.

She comes back in to the bar from the back door with hay in her hair and her favorite shawl around her shoulders. It was a nice walk.

It's a good day today.

"Surprised they didn't start changing you rent, kiddo." Guppy is saying softly to the very small person he's lugging in in a baby carrier.

He sets the baby carrier down, and lifts little Gilbert out into his arms. The two months in hospital and his operation have at least resulted in Gilbert looking about the size of a small newborn. He adjusts the baby's tiny hat, then gets out a bottle to coax him into a feed.
