"Greyfields socialist?"

You track down the Nostalgic Sonnetist to an impromptu poetry evening in the Singing Mandrake. His allusions are banal, his rhymes desperate, his imagery incomprehensible. It is with little remorse that you hand out the required beating behind the pub at closing time. Passers-by applaud your work.

An hour later, you're sitting next to the Affluent Photographer, eating a steaming plate of hearts at Dante's Grill. She orders more wine and says, 'The Cause has been going in a hundred directions for years. So, a council of bold revolutionaries has shouldered the burden of leadership. The Calendar Council. I'm not on it, of course, but I help out where I can. March will be very pleased at your work. Contact me again soon and I think I'll have something for you.'
