Title: OUTRAGE IN JHELOM
Author: Staff Reports
Lord Kendal's diplomatic
visit to Jhelom did not
begin auspiciously. Kendal
told his welcoming
delegation, "I didn't
come here for my health.
I can think of other ways
of enjoying myself." He
then asked, "Aren't
most of you descended
from pirates?"
On a tour of the city, Kendal shared more of his thoughts:
* Of the library:
"Jhelom has a library? Whatever for?"
* Of the performing
arts center:
"It's a
vast waste of space."
* On meeting a
Britain-born Jhelom
woman:
"You can't have
been here too long, you
still look like a woman."
* On visiting Jhelom's
graveyard,
"I guess not
ALL your warriors do so
well."
* Of the tropical
northwestern Jhelom
island:
"This is what I
thought the entire town
would look like."
Kendal did show some sympathy for his hosts. "We have that problem in Britain too," he said of Jhelom's protestors. "The peasants were saying they wanted more leisure time. Now they're complaining they're unemployed."
It is a mystery how Kendal came to be chosen for the mission, particularly in light of his comment at a Merchants' Guild meeting last year: "People think there's a rigid class system in Britain, but dukes have been known to marry whores. Some have even married girls from Jhelom."
Lord Kendal is expected
to offer his apologies
this evening, at a meeting
with Jhelom's military
leadership.
