Explore "The Librarian at Play" by Edmund Lester Pearson on Textopian. Read with annotations and highlights.
Dr. Gotthold, formerly librarian to H. H. Prince Otto of Grunewald, has very kindly forwarded a copy of the "Olympian Times" containing an account of the recent field day, gymkhana, and general meet of the Fictitious and Historical Characters' Amateur Athletic Association. It is reproduced here verbatim:
On the morning of the meet everyone was delighted to see that fair weather prevailed. As it was well known that the pious AEneas was going to act as one of the field judges, a good many persons had expected that his old enemy AEolus would contrive some kind of a kibosh in the shape of high winds. But nothing of the sort happened, and thousands streamed out to the grounds in the best of spirits.
