June 10.
"Cerberus," he had said, "had three mouths with which he barked; but you have three, or even four, which bark not, but devour." "Tres habuit fauces, et terno Cerberus ore Latratus intra Tartara nigra dabat. Et tibi plena fame tria sunt vel quatuor ora Quae nulli latrant, quemque sed illa vorant."

They could not travel as fast as light, and they could escape only if they found some near-by solar system. Their star was dead black. Let's call it Nigra the Black One since like every other star it should have a name. Any objection?" There was none, so Arcot continued: "Now we come to an impossibly rare coincidence.
The roots are eaten raw, and considered a delicacy here, but thought much more of in Sweden, where they are an article of trade: they are eaten also stewed as chesnuts. ELDER. Sambucus nigra.
