Continuing on to the community college the Well-Dressed Albatross came upon a TV broadcast in which Clive was being interviewed about his recent mathematical breakthrough.

Passing the Palacio de Bellas Artes on his way to the community college, the Well-Dressed Albatross discovered that Pim and Bim were about to perform Messiaen’s ‘Visions de l’Amen’ for two pianos, so he went in and enjoyed the performance from a better than average seat.

Since the death of Uncle Theosophus the finances of the Well-Dressed Albatross had become so strained that he was forced to consider embarking on a career, and to this end he had sent away for the calendar of a community college.

As though at gunpoint, Mrs. Love lead Mr. Love into the desert to discuss the future of her grandson.

Clive, however, WAS in Polanco, and living below Pim and Bim. Clive’s book on Fibonacci Primes—whose content was of no interest to anyone—turned out to be the world’s longest palindrome when translated into Spanish. So Clive had been made head of the math department at UNAM.

But Ukifune wasn’t anywhere near Polanco. In fact she’d just disembarked a train arriving at Hamilton, Ontario, Canada.

Finding themselves back in Polanco and needing a place to stay, Pim and Bim occupied the penthouse Slim had vacated some days earlier.

But nothing happened. Eventually the stress was too much and Slim abandoned the penthouse, never to return.

The forked path took Slim back to the Polanco penthouse he had obtained through meanness and lies. That nothing had happened to it seemed too good to be true. For fear of being under surveillance, Slim deprived Slimself of the stellar view the real estate boasted.

As he so often did, Mr. Love dreamed that the dark figure of Mrs. Love was approaching him from across the desert. Tonight the dark figure of Mrs. Love really WAS approaching him from across the desert. It happens.
