The Empire Of Gut And Bone (2011) - Plot & Excerpts
“Nonsense,” said Lord Rafe “Chigger” Dainsplint, Norumbegan Social Club candidate for the post of Imperial Regent, speaking with reporters over the sounds of screaming and flames. “The very idea of a Mannequin Resistance is entirely beneath our dignity. What we have here is nothing more than an under-stairs servants’ party that’s got a little out of hand. Anyone who even speaks of this is clearly no friend of New Norumbega. This is nothing.” Fourteen died today in the blast, including Sir Pleckory Dither, Cupbearer to the Stub, who was crossing the square with his chalice when the missile hit. When asked about the deaths, Dainsplint replied, “You know, we in the Imperial Council would hate to gag the Press. We rather prefer choking, with our thumbs pressed deep into your windpipes as your goggling eyes gape out at us. Any more questions, lads?” There were none.
