　＇19＇　Because　of　the　way　time　was　recorded　among　the　various　states；　kingdoms　and　cities。　After　all；　when　over　an　area　of　a　hundred　square　miles　the　same　year　is　variously　the　Year　of　the　Small　Bat；　and　Anticipated　Monkey；　the　Hunting　Cloud；　Fat　Cows；　Three　Bright　Stallions　and　at　least　nine　numbers　recording　the　time　since*　assorted　kings；　prophets；　and　strange　events　were　either　crowned；　born　or　happened；　and　each　year　has　a　different　number　of　months；　and　some　of　them　don't　have　weeks；　and　one　of　them　refuses　to　accept　the　day　as　a　measure　of　time；　the　only　thing　it　is　possible　to　be　sure　of　is　that　good　sex　doesn't　last　long　enough。？

　＇21＇　Like　Bognor。　
　
　＇22＇　At　least；　of　supervising　the　loading。　Actual　physical　assistance　was　a　little　difficult　because　he　had；　the　day　before；　slipped　on　something　and　broken　his　leg。　
　
　＇23＇　There　is　a　school　of　thought　that　says　that　witches　and　wizards　can　never　go　home。　They　went；　though；　just　the　same。
