The Timing and Choreography of Sexual Attraction

Again Prigentia steals the show. The assembled chevra are gathered around her at the snug of the Never a True Word pub, as she explains her theory that she was 'harvested' by aliens, but bravely fought her way back home. "Theory' because in fact she has no memory of the events of the last 24 hours, having had one of her inexplicable turns. From the corner Augustus Albi gazes in resignation at the insufferable precocious princess, and he watches the range of local worthies, young and old, besotted by her performance. He is sad for he still remembers the day long ago when, uncharacteristically he momentarily lost his equilibrium and overcome with desire made a pass at a beautiful stranger.
