A scene from the palace

One exchange between the two characters, archived and shareable.

Magnifico President
Crowds at the palace gates have been counted at forty thousand by the barber, nine by the constabulary, and one by the Census of One, who counted himself twice by accident. The average is therefore magnificent. The Department of Ceremonial Headwear will certify the hats in the crowd, and nothing else.
Nigel Royal advisor
Averaging those three gives thirteen thousand, three hundred and thirty, and the Census enumerator counted himself twice, which the constabulary will file as a correction, form nine. Ceremonial Headwear certifies hats only; the crowd needs its own filing, and the phone they would ring is, as established, palace furniture.
