One For The Morning Glory (2013) - Plot & Excerpts
In fact the only reason Cedric ever wrote such a thing in his Chronicle—or the King in his never-finished notes toward his autobiography, or Sir John in letters to his son many years later, for they all did write "The Prince was as good as his word"—was because it seemed de rigueur in a fairy tale. It spared a long description of the Prince going forth in his litter to work healings every morning, and studying in the Royal Library and Royal Alchemical Laboratory far into every night, eliminating one cause after another, following up little threads of history and every stray observation made by every shrewd commoner. Besides, it furnished a way to get into the next part of the tale. So the Prince was as good as his word, and though his youth and strength bore him up, all the same he grew tireder every day. The plague seemed to settle to about two hundred fresh cases every morning, and by now every house near the castle had been visited—just once. The plague continued to spread away from the castle in a widening ring, like a ripple in a pond, never taking more than its two hundred or so, but never fewer, and slowly and deliberately moving outwards.
