“Are you learning to cope with the future? We certainly have a lot of stuff that you didn’t have,” Timothy Walters said as he prepared breakfast for Sir Gregory of Cornwall.

“It is not as difficult as you might–What devilry is this?” Sir Gregory jumped as the toaster chimed. “The bread you placed into that contraption! It’s transubstantiated!”

“Oh, that’s a toaster.”

“No, it just toasts it. We have computers and stuff, and you’re just interested in a toaster?”

Sir Gregory was not listening, “Amazing!”
