Oooh, like that! Well, do go on about your business, then, and I will be more occupied by your sipping than by that… joke?

Yeah. I thought it was well worth the wait, and I suspect the guy who wrote the Glossary for placing a juicy thing like that at the end on purpose. You know, so as to provide his readers with a small treat for getting so far.

Of course, this inate theory of mine is somewhat undermined by the fact that this is a glossary, and glossaries aren’t meant to be read from front to back.

And this was just about the only quotable passage in the whole 400 pages long book. Fittingly, it was located in the very last entry, too.
