Beware the Ides of March

Malvolio Claxendell has generously invited Indrek Karlosoroff to use the study facilities at the library of the Institute of Lyrian Archeology, so that he can press on with his translation of the middle section of the Aṣṭasāhasrikā Prajñāpāramitā Sūtra.  He finds the company amenable. There are two other readers today. Opposite him at the window table  is Sister Metamoreful who walks  to the Institute from the Cruxicogentian Retreat at Little Porrit  every Wednesday to compile the French version of Sister Porigami’s weekly prayer tweets (on twitter) for blessed retweeting on Friday. At the far end of the table is Loretta Garsten-Manir, taking annual leave from her job at Featheral Upholstering to start work on her Handbook of Predictive Ptolomaic Astrology.
