Sorry for the delay, but I had to go to our technical department because one of our Difference-Engines broke down (not that I was actually fixing it; more along the lines of threatening the people in charge of fixing it and occasionally hitting them with my walking-stick). 20 whacks later, the engine was fixed, but it took tremendous effort (namely, when my trusty old mahogany stick broke and I had to go back to get the other one with the steel head). No matter, for it was fixed, and that is what matters. Just a pity that half of my technical experts had to be hospitalized.
