Faintly Macabre:
When Rhyme and Reason were banished...
Milo:
Rhyme? And Reason?
Faintly Macabre:
Yes Milo. When the two kings had their terrible quarrel. When King Azaz insisted that words were far more important than numbers, and hence his kingdom was truly the greater. And when the Mathemagician claimed that numbers were much more important than words, and hence his kingdom was supreme, why then naturally the asked the princess of Sweet Rhyme and the princess of Pure Reason to settle the question.
Milo:
And what did they decide? What is the most important - words or numbers?
Faintly Macabre:
The princesses decided that words and numbers are of equal value.
Tock:
In the cloak of knowledge, one is the warp, and the other is the 'Woof!'
Faintly Macabre:
But you see Milo, this decision infuriated the two kings. And they banished the princesses to the Castle in the Air. And I was thrown into this dungeon.
