This anecdote is too obscure to be elaborated here. See Howard Encyclopaedia: Howard Encyclopaedia: Ancient weapons, chemical-explosives firearms. Ancient weapons, chemical-explosives firearms.

While this pa.s.sage bears inner contradictions, the idioms are authentic for North America of the twentieth century. They name certain types of financial dishonesty. See "Swindles" under "Fraud" in Krishnamurti's New Golden Bough, New Golden Bough, Academe Press, New Rome. Academe Press, New Rome.

This doggerel is attributed to the twentieth century. See appendix for semantic a.n.a.lysis.

There is no record that the Senior ever attended a school for militaro-naval officers, or any military school. On the other hand, there is no proof that he did not. This story may be autobiographical to whatever extent it is true; "David Lamb" may be one more of the many names used by Woodrow Wilson Smith.
The details are consistent with Old Home's history so far as we know it. The Senior's first century coincides with that century of continuous war which preceded the Great Collapse-a century of much scientific progress paralleled by retrogression in social matters. Waterborne and airborne s.h.i.+ps were used for fighting throughout this century. See appendix for idioms and technicalities.

From the noun "chaperon." This word has two meanings: (1) A person charged with preventing s.e.xual contacts between males and females not licensed for such contacts; (2) a person superficially performing such disservice while in fact acting as a benign lookout. It appears that the Senior uses the word here in its first meaning rather than in its ant.i.thetical second meaning. See appendix.

Context implies second meaning.

The Gatling gun (Richard J. Gatling, 1818-1903) was obsolete by the time Lazarus Long was born. This allegation is barely possible if one stipulates that an obsolete weapon might be used in some small, out-of-the-way insurrection.

Sequence of events cannot be reconciled. Perhaps a similar s.h.i.+p?

All is well Without punishment, The time is for playing; Comes the hour Without delay For laying (school) books down.
Purists will see that the Senior gave this jingle a poor translation. But one wonders why he did not continue in the same vein with the cheerfully bawdy triple pun available in the last line by subst.i.tuting "liberos" for "libros"? That he could have missed it seems out of character. Our Ancestor's capric disposition is everywhere evident; his occasional professions of asceticism have at best a hollow ring.

Correction: Hedrick Family. This woman Laura (one of the ancestors of the undersigned) did carry the surname "Foote" under the archaic patrilineal tradition-a source of confusion in old records, as the more logical matrilineal system has always been used in the Families in a.s.signing clan members.h.i.+p. But the genealogies were not revised to show this until Gregorian Year 3307. This misnomer offers a means of dating this memoir . . were it not that other records show that reindeer were not introduced onto Valhalla until approximately a century and a half after after the date that the Senior-beyond question-did marry Laura Foote-Hedrick. the date that the Senior-beyond question-did marry Laura Foote-Hedrick.
But more interesting is the Senior's allegation that he used a pseudogravity field in that year in that year to facilitate childbirth. Was he the first tocologist to use this (now standard) method? Nowhere does he a.s.sert this, and the technique is usually a.s.sociated with Dr. Virginius Briggs of Secundus Howard Clinic and a much later date. to facilitate childbirth.
