 | | As the freeway became ever more solid and the summer passed into autumn, one little pylon in particular grew excited, for he knew that soon they would be packing up and moving on-- on to a new and exotic land where they and their CalTrans masters were needed. |
 | | The princes were very concerned about this (and always had been or as long as anyone could remember) because none of them could remember their father, the King, either. |
 | | And while none of the surviving princes really felt like things were better than they had been, their minds were at least off the neurotic problem of succession for a while, and they finally had some real problems to try to solve, so in some sense, this is still a happy ending. |
