FARMER GILES OF HAM:
AEGIDII AHENOBARBI JULII AGRICOLE DE HAMMO, Domini de Domito, Aule Draconarie Comitis, Regni Minimi Regis et Basilei mira facinora et mirabilis exortus-- or, (in the vulgar tongue) The Rise and Wonderful Adventures of Farmer Giles, Lord of Tame, Count of Worminghall and King of the Little Kingdom. I, Dr. H. Owll, after suffering the profoundest defeat on the Friday previous, the 16th of February, when it pleased God that it was not granted unto me to be able to employ the engineries of Radio Valencia in dutiful performance, and offer as expected the Ask Dr. Hal! Show, owing to the inimical configuration left for my use by users previous, had to make my way back to my domicile in grievous distress and woeful disgrace. When this new show began, it soon befell my lot to encounter the same barriers, once again left in place. Then, though taken once more aback, did I vow and resolve to continue even ungirded, without the needed musics, to fill the next three hours with only my voice withal. I began the tale of Farmer Giles of Ham, and did advance the lay to the moment when Aegidus discharged his blunderbuss directly into the face of the Giant from the Wild Hills. And it was then that KrOB did enter upon the scene. Surveying the Board with his most expert vision, he discovered that a small row of gray switches had been left on which were preventing the needed elements of the show from being heard. These being turned off, all ability was thereby returned unto my hands, and so fortified, and with God's help and KrOB's, I eventually related the full and entire tale of the victory of Aegidus over the dragon Chrysophylax and even the King of the Little Kingdom, Augustus Bonifacius Ambrosius Antonius Pius et Magnificus, dux, rex, tyrannus, et basileus Mediterranearum Partium.
