Synopsis
Excerpt from Outpost
The last day of October! Said the Sun to himself, the last day of my favorite month, and the birthday Of my little namesake! See if I don't make the most of it!
SO the Sun called to all the winds and all the breezes, who, poor things had but just gone to bed after a terrible night's work, ordering them to get up directly, and sweep the Sky as clear as a bell; and bid all the clouds, whether big white mountains, little pinky islands, sweeping mares'-tails, or freckled mackerel-back, to put themselves out of the way, and keep out of it until November when, as the Sun remarked with a Sigh, they would have it all their own way.
