Spinning Compass Comunications

We should host an Easter dinner on Sunday for everyone, and we need to pick a date for our ball.

Can we set aside some time tonight to talk? It's a good talk.

[This is a perfectly rehearsed performance, very deliberately broadcast. She is singing a tune from an old French opera. Her voice is pleasant enough, and it has an innocent, naive air to it, and even a slight lisp. This contrasts a little ridiculously with the adult themes of the song.]

Flamme vengeresse,
Tourment qui m'oppresse,
Amour qui sans espoir me laisse,
Tu vois ma faiblesse,
Hélas pauvre abbesse,
Devant toi mon pouvoir s'abaisse.

Rends à mon cœur le calme et la paix!
Toi qu'hélas autrefois je bravais.
Flamme vengeresse....


[The phone is pulled away from her, and Edward Rochester's voice is heard, speaking to her in French]

Enough, Adele. No one wishes to hear you warbling so.

We're going on an adventure tomorrow. To another planet!

[I've been reading. I found the most wonderful manual on how to use this phone machine, a book about Coney Island and a book about Kathmandu. There's a place in Kathmandu called the Kaiser Library. It was once a grand palace and now the whole castle is a library. It's says in the books that it was partially destroyed in 2015 but the door is to 2011. It should be beautiful. 2011! Did you ever imagine seeing such a year? We must go.]
