“Bees?”
“Oh, no. Little golden objects that set lazy men to idle dreaming. As for me, I am concerned with matters of consequence. There is no time for idle dreaming in my life.”
“Ah! You mean the stars?”
“Yes, that’s it. The stars.”
“And what do you do with five-hundred millions of stars?”
“Five hundred and one million, six hundred and twenty two thousand, seven hundred and thirty-one. I am concerned with matters of consequence. I am accurate.”
“And what do you do with these stars?”
“What do I do with them?”
“Yes.”
