I'll be at the registration in the late afternoon. According to my tickets, Oxford arrives at my train at about half-past four tomorrow. I shall array me in princely wise, that all may know me and despair (i.e. I will wear a hat).

As it says in Ketils Saga inn Skemmri: "There was a man from Laxardael whose name was Bjorn, and he held the beaching rights along the coast for a mile above Kambsness, and he is now out of the saga. His second cousin's next-door neighbour's best friend was a man called Ketil, who owned the ugliest horse in all Iceland, but he bought another from Thorvald Fish-Breath and no more is said of him."

Wait, no. I probably meant the Longer Saga: "Look not for me at home tomorrow, for I am taking a train to Oxford." It's a late composition.
