Summary
“There are dancing bears in Númenor. They are true beasts, who truly dance. That is how the story goes. It is a good story, albeit unsettlingly adolescent in its humour, and it is a comforting story, and to be secure in one’s story is not a valueless thing to be. The valueless thing would be the loss of it all. Your stories, drifting through the world headlessly. Moulting from the sky and swaying down to earth, naught but food to phosphorescent underground hairballs of worms, naught but comfort to children of drowned parents, these failed feathers that had been everything to the fledgling. This is why there are dancing bears in Númenor. Even though there are no dancing bears in Númenor.”
A series of tattoos favoured by Númenorean settlers and sailors across the Ages, from the War of Wrath to the King's Peace of Gondor, recount the tale of a people strangled by the stories they tell of themselves.

Summary
The ink on Napoleaon's surrender was barely dry when Hammond had bustled up to Laurence in that peculiar way of his, at once both bullish and entreating, and announced, "I simply must insist that we return to China at once. With news of the former emperor's passing, we really should have gone immediately, but now that there is nothing here to hold us, we cannot delay so much as a moment."
