All the while I expect to be ducking Megalos’s calls, and I do feel residually bad about him and his holy order suddenly having to live up to the ideal of humble poverty, but in fact he doesn’t try to get in touch. I assume that he is firefighting, or that he has been ousted and the new boss of the Order of St. Augustine and St. Spyridon is an actual Christian, a pious old geezer who welcomes the chance to lead his flock back to whatever pastures they actually come from and do good works. It’s going to be a boom area, charity. Almost everyone south of Milan will need it, and anyone east of Zurich. Interestingly, Iceland has done rather well. Say one thing for the Icelanders, say this: they learn fast.
