Summary
“Gandalf is going to turn me into a weasel,” Pippin told Boromir. “I shall need a pocket to ride in. May I borrow yours?”
Boromir blinked. “Oh,” he said. “Ohh. Yes, certainly, so long as you are a weasel-sized weasel and not a hobbit-sized weasel.”
Pippin turned to Gandalf, caught by this new idea. “Can you make me into a hobbit-sized weasel?”
“For mercy's sake,” said Gandalf.
In which Pippin has approximately sixty uninterrupted leagues to find out everything that can be found out from Gandalf and gets approximately sixty times more than he bargained for.

Summary
All it took was one (1) badly considered lecture in which he attempted to use the different professor titles as a metaphor for the naval ranks he was trying to teach his students, combined with one (1) other history professor overhearing for every professor (nprofs) in the university to start calling him “captain” with malicious glee.

Summary
The years were speeding up, of that there was no doubt. But where once Laurence had marked their turning by the height and wildness of the currents of the oceans or the air, and the ebb and flow of military campaigns, his seasons now took a more domestic character. They were delineated by the nighttime tumult of lambing, or the first fine evening that after-dinner drinks could be enjoyed outside Temeraire’s pavilion, the deadheading of roses or the smell of the autumn’s first peat fire.
Laurence, now a retired gentleman of some means, is able to mark his friend’s birthdays as he has always wished.

Summary
Tharkay’s face had not lost its trace of anxiety. “Is there something else, Tenzing?”
The corner of Tharkay’s mouth twitched. “Perhaps. It is only that my cousins will have formally been evicted as of noon today and well,” The rain was upon them in earnest now. Tharkay turned his face into it, the wind throwing his dark hair back from his spare features as he considered the rising hills of the Highlands now coming into view. “Do you remember the Russian retreat from Moscow?”
Or: Laurence and Tharkay's new understanding together is marked by a rainstorm and a series of unpleasant surprises. Temeraire and Laurence consider their new home. Tharkay experiments with vulnerability.

Summary
“Imperials are bred to live within the walls of the emperor’s palace; that is why you are petite, so that you may fit into some of the most important chambers in the world. The only dragon more highly regarded amongst the Chinese is the Celestial, which is sometimes no bigger than a single ton, although I understand they do vary.”
“Oh,” Temeraire said, drooping. He darted a glance at Laurence, as if shy of his reaction. “So I will not grow much more after all?”
“You will still grow some,” Sir Edward answered, laughing. “I have never met an Imperial, as they are certainly too valuable to be flying around outside of China, but to my understanding you may grow up to four tons yet, if you continue eating well.”

‘It is no good asking me,’ Laurence said at last, pushing the pattern-book away over breakfast, ‘I am not the one–’
Not the one who would be living with the result, he had been about to say. But they had hardly accepted Tharkay’s invitation as casual houseguests.- Language:

Dief made a face, his nose crinkling in almost comic distaste. "Terrible. Human. Body," Dief insisted, signing the words decisively. "No coat, and two legs put you off-balance, never mind how you're forced to expose your—"
Fraser felt his eyebrows shoot into his hairline.
"—to everyone, which is really not smart, if you ask me," Dief concluded.

Summary
Three and a half years have passed since Empress Chenelo's death. Not even the imperial family gives much thought to her son, who is in the care of Setheris Nelar, in the distant Western Marshes and far from the court.
But vexing news come from Edonomee: Nelar is dead and Maia is without a guardian.
The emperor will have to decide on a new arrangement. For the sake of expediency, Nemolis volunteers to go to Edonomee and bring his half-brother to the Untheileneise Court. After all, the sooner a new guardian is found, the better.
