“There are strict limits on the number of Hours, Names, Long and Know. Strict limits. Seven Names for each Hour, seven Long for each Name, seven Know for each Long. Since there can only ever be exactly thirty Hours, we can do the sums and work it all out perfectly.
Except, no matter which way I do the sums, it never comes to thirty Hours. If I include the ones in Nowhere, it’s twenty-eight. If I’m a bit more speculative, it’s thirty-four. The Chancel has its accounted thirty, Xenodice told me once, but Xenodice doesn’t share her mistress’ secrets.” – Christopher Illopoly, Just Mathematics [ RESTRICT / NON-REGULABLE ENTITIES ] See also: An-Inheritance-of-Stones ◆ The-Locksmiths-Dream-vol-2-and-3-1925 ◆ |
