Not enough

But as soon as president Taylor banged his gavel, opening the first session, it was clear that the reports—already nearing two pounds in bulk— just did not weigh enough. John Anderson, of Canterbury, castigated Taylor for laxness in issuing his reports, and he proclaimed his resolve to refuse to discuss anything about which he had not received "adequate" prior written preparation. Otago's Dennis Pezaro. speaking in reasoned tones, agreed.

Taylor, a proud and fiery sun. lashed back. His response was to excoriate the delegates for their reports, some of which he called "ill-based." At this arrogance, all the Constellations in this rectangular universe bristled. They took a vote, and in the first item of business of the Council, they censured their elected head.

All this while, Ross Mountain, the Moon, sat silent against the wall, watching the squabbles of the Gods, waiting lor time to take its toll and let him eclipse the Sun.
