About this listen

You are invited to a ball given by Lord Semichastny at his estate on Delbalso.

Be prepared for:

  • The Great Trog Chase, a marvel of bureaucratic befuddlement compounded by the appearance of an imposter rivaling Torve himself for Troggish charm, though not unpredictability;
  • The winders of Peelgrunt at Xenakis' Centre (the only place on Delbalso even mentioned by Wu and Fabricant);
  • A family of bourgeois con-artists keeping up appearances as interstellar rug salesmen;
  • The first intimations of the Universal Pantograph;
  • The Last Christian; and
  • The Monist Association's Xochitl Sodality Night (who says middle-aged men are too old for green hats with feathers?), culminating in a citywide game of Wonders and Marvels well worth donning a mask to attend!
