Astra's Day Could Get Even More Boring
The Never Ending Quest - Episode 49620
|
Astra groaned inwardly. She had hoped that her afternoon would be a little
more interesting than the morning had been, but she could not think of
anything that she would be likely to find more dull than a talk about
agriculture. But as a princess she had had a lot of practice at enduring
boring functions with a good grace, so she smiled and said: "Thank you.
That should be very interesting. Er, you said earlier that we would be
having lunch together at the Near North field house. [48632] Will that be
before or after we get the exercise that you just mentioned?"
"We will have lunch first, Khanomam. But you need not worry about exercising on a full stomach. We will just go for a walk of a mile or two around the locality, nothing too strenuous. Luckily the weather is a lot better than it was yesterday, and the soil here drains fairly quickly." "Wouldn't Boomer want me to put on the blindfold again, if I will be walking around outside?" "I don't think that should be necessary, so long as you remain with me. There is really nothing of great interest to see. Just fields and the exteriors of buildings." I wonder what Boomer was afraid that I might see? Astra thought. Probably the insides of some of the buildings. But I'll keep alert, just in case I do spot something interesting.
