GoG reappears

The Dots hadn't seen or heard much of GoG lately. This is not to say that she had been missed, unlike Pink and Navy who are sorely missed. Dotland is a quieter duller place without them. However, today GoG reappeared, chattering away to Sage about her plans to teach librarian wannabes all about Folly. This is really curious. While GoG might be quite good with folly, she hasn't been around Folly for years. Actually, she hasn't worked in a library for years. Maybe she thinks working in a bookstore is the same thing. That would explain her peculiar ideas about shelving. However, she feels competent to tell novices all about what it is like to be a librarian. We could wish she would do a little research first. Maybe actually ask questions and listen to the answers? She has enlisted Sage to introduce her good friend Marc to the wannabes. GoG might be a bit of a social climber. She likes to pretend that Marc is her good friend too but the Dots know better. Sage is always willing to introduce Marc in the Duchy. Of course according the the Duchy's arcane social rules, Sage should collect a few pence for introducing Marc. GoG says that since Sage has already introduced Marc before, she can't collect pence for introducing him to new people. GoG should know better that to nitpick with the Dotland Divas of Detail. Introducing Marc to wannabes requires a different introduction that introducing Marc to librarians, therefore, it's all new and Sage collects the pence. Dotland 1, GoG 0.

As Silver knows, anyone who wants to maintain a friendship with Marc, one must pay strict attention to details. Nobody is better at that than Sage. She is the Detail Diva Extraordinaire of all Dotland, the one to whom all of the dots defer to in matters of the idiosyncracies of Marc. Gog is sadly lacking in that area. She actually thinks she knows everything. In actuality, she knows very little. Poor, sad Gog.
