Four Senses In The Baltica

For Love And Glory, XXXIII.

The Baltica is a restaurant in a clear dome on top of one of the tallest towers in the city of Inga on the planet, Asborg. At night, patrons see city lights and a haloed moon.

Among the tables, artificially designed flowers:

are multi-colored;
"animate" the air, presumably with odors;
trill a springtime melody!

Awaiting his host at a reserved alcove table, Hebo drinks a beer.

Thus, the opening paragraph of XXXIII addresses four senses.

Kaor, Paul!

I think Carlsberg beer was one of Poul Anderson's favorite brews. And Old Nick was notoriously fond of beer, with his monster two liter steins! And Dominic Flandry was fond of Scotch.

Just nattering, because of this mention of Hebo sipping beer!
