We recognised, of course, that it needs a square meal now and then. At that point we conceived the idea of holding a banquet — a special feast that should be several generations in the partaking, and one whose guests of honour (universality pre- serve them!) should come to us from as far afield as two millennia. It is — you will perceive — your house guests we are after. We went into the Library and took a look about us.
