Myrtle

I will mark this day with a white stone.

Crobil and Myrtle, he added, turning to the girls, perfume the feet, hands, and beard of my dear guest.

They smiled, and they had already brought the basin, the phials, and the metal mirror.

But Paphnutius stopped them with an imperious gesture, and lowered his eyes that he might not look upon them, for they were naked.

It is needful also that you should give me a purse with a thousand drachmae in it.

That, O Nicias, is what I came to ask of you, for the love of God, and in remembrance of our old friendship.

Nicias made Crobil and Myrtle bring his richest tunic.

It was embroidered after the Asiatic fashion with flowers and animals.

We're just kidding.

Myrtle isn't our guest, but she is going to hang out with us for as long as she's willing for this episode.

So it's funny.

We're supposed to be talking about kudu today, which it's going to be easy to get distracted if Myrtle's hanging out right here.

You can see a couple of our kudu, maybe off in the distance back there.

The baby? Yeah, we've got Marvin who's laying down.

So they grow really quickly.

So two things I wanted to point out.
