No fights to report? And I guess Mrs Horse forgot the old false alarm double bluff trick.

[finbar]

No fights to speak of - well, I did have to insist that Deity disband his peripatetic* warrior who was blundering around my land. Being the gent that he is, Deity obliged. Finally.

*I feel confident I can use a word like this in your company, Doctor. The others, of course, will have to look it up in a dictionary.

[Alexander's Horse]

Nuh. Try the next bit of the definition. The bit about itinerant, wandering.

[deity]

Gotcha!

[DrSpike]

Someone asked me what 'peripatetic' meant the other day (I think they were reading Rousseau's Confessions) as it happens.

I managed to provide Finbar's definition, though I admit defeat on the Aristotle reference.

[finbar]

Aristotelian is derived from Aristotle's habit of walking around while he taught. Hence Aristotle was peripatetic. Aristotelian would appear in a dictionary under "peripatetic" but it doesn't define the word. It's more of a similie.

[DrSpike]

I see. I expect people to come to wherever I am when teaching, hence the blank.
