Captain Moonlight's Notebook

I regret to advise readers that Miss Peachblossom, my Chinese astrologer, has resigned to spend more time with her family. I tried to keep her on board until the Year of the Dog to advise you from time to time on lunar developments, but she said she must go as a matter of principle. She had mistakenly transcribed the birth date of the Prince of Wales and made him a Pig rather than a Rat. She is distraught. I shall let you know when I have found a replacement.
