It was the annual Festival of the Glorious Ewe, the patron saint of Mordek, and the capital was thronged with visitors. Kopek, chief spy of the Pimpleknuckle Confederation, surreptitiously mingled with the crowd disguised as a peasant on a jaunt to town, though his monocle and well waxed handlebar moustaches jarred slightly with his shepherds smock and slouch hat.

Of Pulque and Popo:
After enjoying Mexico’s cactus beer, I decided to climb the volcano that towers over Mexico city. Then, dammit, I did it again, But as Hericlitis said, you never climb the same mountain twice.
First Knock Door
When Victor found I had an Ewondo girlfriend from the Centre Province, he asked me if I was a serious man.
“If you are a serious man, you need to know how to dote your love,” he said. “I will tell you how to go see her father.”
The Ewondo live in the French speaking Centre province, so I asked, “How do you know about the Ewondo?”
“I had a love from there,” he told me. “You must be ready for what will happen. It is called the First Knock Door. When you go to see the father to ask for his daughter, you will say to the father, ‘You have a nice flower in the family that I love’.”
