The night air is warm, and all things considered, it’s a better-than-average evening. Even Eugene and the Other Demons would be hard-pressed to complain. Tomorrow, we’ll be back in Guelph, in our own house, in our own bed. Muffy will be delighted to see me, and I’ll be happy to see her.

But for now, we’re in Prague.
