Today's episode goes to an important question: just how DOES the Wolf Queen manage to stay warm on a winter's day, given her outfit?
Also: extempore poetry from Ravenmad, the creation of
tegerio.
And today's episode ends in a luxurious seraglio, because let's face it, putting the WQ in the middle of one seemed like a good idea at the time.

The joke is a blatant theft from the Irish writer "Myles na gCopaleen" [real name: Brian O'Nolan], who wrote a column called "Cruishkeen Lawn" for the Irish Times for many years. One of his regular bits was to concoct erudite, but horrible, puns, starring the poets Keats and Chapman.
The particular one I have, ahem, borrowed, is the second one listed here: http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/36138252.
It's a play on "nescit vox missa reverti," translatable as "a word, once spoken, can never be recalled," or "watch what you say." The Roman author Horace originated the expression.

I've used it, I think, at one point before in the stories.
This joke is, ahem, borrowed, from the 1933 film "International House," starring (among others) W.C. Fields. The film came out as musical extravaganza films once again surged to the fore, after a few years' respite. The film in some ways tries to capture the Busby Berkeley-type glitz of "42nd Street," "Footlight Parade" and "Gold Diggers of 1933."
See: https://www.youtube.com/watch?t=45&v=zl8Qlu4l0YM at 0:40. The gent to whom W.C. Fields notes "don't let the posy fool you" is Franklin Pangborn, who made a career out of playing fussy, prissy men. He's also one of the models for one of the Goofy Gophers of WB cartoon fame.
The film is set in Wu Hu, China, where there is to be a demonstration of an amazing type of television; this invention is the subject of much intrigue in the film. It can zoom in anywhere in the world to pick up various acts. Demonstrations include looking in on Cab Calloway:

An underwater Gate, apparently. If it goes both ways, the prisoners (?) would have found the way out by now, so she's got to find another way home.
His Eminence seems to be an unpleasant fellow.
And the answer to the question of how the Wolf Queen stays warm, given her outfit, as we suspected, is that the Wolf Queen stays warm, given her outfit...
