Officially, Peter is the Premises Manager, but he does anything and everything whenever he\u2019s asked, and AuntSylvie lives and breathes caregiver.

All three of them meet up in the Grand Corridor<\/p>\n \u201cWhat\u2019s happening now?\u201d asks AuntSylvie.<\/p>\n \u201cThe Garrison\u2019s busy! Something\u2019s up. I don\u2019t know exactly what! The chief medical officer sent a messenger over, and I need to get round there right now.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cI hope it\u2019s not serious?\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cI won\u2019t know until I get there. Probably contingency planning again. But you never know! If I can\u2019t get back tonight I\u2019ll send another messenger to update you.\u201d<\/p>\n Word has gone round that there\u2019s been an incursion down south. Which means that a well established routine interferes with the usual course of events on an otherwise ordinary Friday.<\/p>\n Periodically, Mr Potato Head instructs his lackies to send raiding parties across the border. Partly to keep his own militias on their toes, and partly to remind Wolfland that Worringfolk is not as weak as they might like to think. There\u2019s always a risk that the latest incursion might be the big one. There has always been a constant and recurrent threat to annex more farmland, seize crops and commandeer livestock.<\/p>\n It\u2019s unlikely that this is a full scale invasion though, just another expedition to steal food. The Wor are not in the habit of risking fatalities on their side, they don\u2019t want to lose any of the few military grade horses that they have, and they need to conserve ammunition.<\/p>\n Previous<\/a> – Book1 Page46 \u2013 Next<\/a><\/p>\n Previous – Book1 Page46 \u2013 Next official schedule.
