...Imperial Klonvocation, according to the Klan constitution, is the "sole legislative body" of the order. It meets biennially. The delegates consist of the Grand Dragon (Governor) of each Realm (state), one Klepeer (elected delegate) from each Realm, the Great Titan of each Province (subdivision of a Realm) and one Klepeer (elected delegate) from each Province.

The new atmosphere makes Mr. Vance a bit giddy. He teeters on his mental tiptoes, nervously juggling bright phrases, while he tells the simple tale of Nelly Wayne and her rather stupid husband, Pendleton. Nelly is a member of the "irritable race" -a writer. When Jill Wetherell, aging nymph, snares Pendleton in one of his "misunderstood" moments, Nelly vengefully becomes Mrs. Paramor. Ultimately, both Nelly and Pendleton revert to type...
