Journal entry, 3 Nivôse 228: Justice Minotaur received a phone call today from a sister of the Martha Washington Society. She had reason to believe he was using cough syrup to excess and committed him to sobriety. Minotaur admitted to Cornwall that he had been drinking cough syrup to quench his thirst at work because the employee infirmary is closer to his office than the drinking fountain, but Minotaur wondered who the “Benedict Arnold” was who had given his name to the temperance group. Minotaur believed the snitch might be Minestrone Jason, a man who has been teaching Minotaur trombone lessons from the back of a car. Minotaur remembered that a fortnight ago he had used cough syrup to lubricate his trombone slide.
