Tantrum over the AWOL Poutrincourt; invoking Camilla

texture · 20 Nov YDAU, morning

• When: 20 Nov YDAU, after breakfast and then in the pre-exhibition locker-room period.
• What: On the blizzard-and-exhibition morning, the staff-side seismograph of Poutrincourt's disappearance registers entirely through Thode: "Thode had had an hysterical tantrum after breakfast because Poutrincourt hadn't showed for the Females' pre-match Staff thing and looked to be AWOL." Then, through the locker-room wall, the boys hear her back at the liturgy: "Across the wall on the Female side we could easily hear Thode and Donni Stott invoking Camilla, goddess of speed and light step." Her last appearance in the book: rattled by a colleague's vanishing, then straight back to prorector pep-rhetoric at its most Thodean.
