Thoth has big problems

No-one is expecting it. Without warning, a quarrel erupts between Felix and Indrek over a critical comment the visitor has made about Felix's husband, Frab Lotus. The loud altercation echoes through the streets, and eventually becomes a violent brawl in the comfortable Snug of the Never a True Word pub. Someone calls the discreet Community Policewoman, Alicia Drublick, while Malvolio Claxendell tries to bring peace between the two brothers. When he sees the flashing blue light, Malvolio suddenly remembers the bedtime tale his old nurse used to read him (she was keen on Ancient Egyptian pornography) about the Contendings of Horus (him of the Eye) and Seth (of the painful testicles). Today's conflict between the Karlozoroff brothers is no less sinister.
