	White Hart - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The White Hart ("hart" is an old word for stag) was the personal badge of Richard II, who derived it from the arms of his mother, Joan "The Fair Maid of Kent", heiress of Edmund of Woodstock.
		In the Wilton Diptych (National Gallery, London), which is the earliest authentic contemporary portait of an English king, Richard II wears a gold and enamelled white hart jewel, and even the angels surrounding the Virgin Mary all wear white hart badges.
		In Scotland, The White Hart is an inn in the Grassmarket, established early in the 1500s.

		This tale of discovery told through the eyes of a restless idealist is continually entertaining.
		The White Hart isn't a good pub, all a bit stuffy and full of scientists, but it does have Harry Purvis.
		This is a fast paced, pleasingly short tale that even if you don't buy into the whole language being the root of consciousness thing, is still a pleasantly inventive tale full of memorable scenes.

		Like tall tales of the old west, the stories here are almost believeable, which makes them perfect for the English Pub background.

		Tales from the "White Hart" by Arthur C. Clarke
		This book is actually a collection of short stories, all of them involving a group of British scientists and writers who gather at a pub called The White Hart, and the resident Scheherazade: Henry Purvis, a man of uncertain origins and tremendous chutzpah, whose tall tales no one has yet quite managed to prove false.
		The stories, which cover a wide range of probability, all have a dry sense of humor.

They were attracted to the "White Hart" by the general brouhaha, and enjoyed the conversation and company so much that they now come along regularly every Wednesday--which is the day when we all get together.
		At the White Hart, a British pub, are an odd assortment of patrons from the literary and scientific fields, as well as laymen interested in the discussions going on around them.
		These tales were originally published individually, but together they are 'bookended' by "Silence Please" and "The Defenestration of Ermintrude Inch" to create a kind of frame story.

		And Dunsany's "Jorkens" tales are the direct progenitors of such books as Arthur C. Clarke's Tales of the White Hart and Fletcher Pratt and L. Sprague de Camp's Tales of Gavagan's Bar.
		Although many of his most famous stories are longer in length, the miniature portraits of Fifty-One Tales (originally published in 1915 and sometimes reprinted under the title The Food of Death) are an ideal introduction to Dunsany.
		Nowhere is the jewel-like quality of his prose more evident than in the short tales herein, seminal works which runs the gamut from whimsy to fantasy to social satire.

		The Southwark inns had a reputation of their own, becoming so well known that the mere mention of their names conveyed a certain atmosphere and character.
		The Tabard, for instance, was Chaucer's choice for the starting point of his 'Canterbury Tales' and the White Hart was both Shakespeare's setting for Jack Cade's final plea to his deserting followers in Henry VI Part ii, and Dickens' setting when introducing Sam Weller in Pickwick Papers.
		The George stood between these two and, like them, was very much part and parcel of a life that often involved arduous journeys in appalling conditions.

	The Longest Science Fiction Story Ever Written by Arthur C. Clarke
		Hard sf humor, invented in its modern form by L. Sprague DeCamp, Anthony Boucher, Henry Kuttner, and Fredric Brown in the late 1930s and early 1940s, flourished in the 1950s.
		Clarke joined the tradition with a series of stories collected in Tales From the White Hart (1957), full of clever notions and (occasionally bad) jokes following the lead of L. Sprague De Camp and Fletcher Pratt's Tales from Gavagan's Bar (1953).
		A certain element of clever scientific puzzles and games has always been present in hard science fiction, the legacy perhaps of Lewis Carroll, or of math classes and their word problems.

		The first of these “Tales from the White Hart” is the recollection of a lab technician named Fenton who succeeded in building a machine (the Fenton Silencer) that can absorb all of the sound in a room.
		The machine consists of a microphone that picks up sound, the requisite hodgepodge of electronic gadgetry and a loudspeaker that is driven precisely backwards from the soundwave.

		The sennachie became a semi-hereditary class, similar to bards; and it's worth noting that the office of the High Sennachie was the precursor to the Lyon King of Arms.
