say, while waiting to be called to eat

Not the historians. No, not them. Their greatest crime is that they presume to know what happened, how things come about, when they have only what the past chose to leave behind
for the most part, they think what they were meant to think, and it's a rare one that sees what really happened, behind the smokescreen of artifacts and paper ...

Them that could take a fool and give you back a hero, take a sot and make him a king ... Liars? ... or sorcerers?
