Author's Chapter Notes:
A colonist pursues a reluctant giantess.
“Well my friends explained the colonies were built, because a war
Killed a lot of giant men, which led to LATERALDATE and more.
There’s a chance your friend was one of those who lost their lives defending
Ambloome’s kingdom, but your sleep might well have gone on, never ending.”

“Yes, you’ve woken me. I’m grateful. You may call me Alysonne.
I expect I have an empty house, and since the sunlight shone
Just enough to light this cave for you, it’s time I relocated
To my house. Are you the one for which my sleeping self has waited?”

“I would like to be,” said Scout, “I have some friends my size outside,
In a gondola of sorts. I’ve been their amulet-tour guide.
I should take them home, but I am glad your body’s not still stiffer
From that ice, which has reduced the way our ages might well differ.”

“You’re quite right,” she said, “Though just a few years older I appear,
I’m quite youthful in my fifties, being from another year.
I’d be older than your parents, if I hadn’t been suspended
In the freezing chamber, with my time of living thus extended.”

In the meantime, back in Lily-foot, another lunch was served
For some giant girls from LATERALDATE. The city’s walls were curved,
As the city was of circular design. Another migrant
From the planet earth, named Eustace thought the atmosphere was vibrant.

He was 32, and felt himself immediately drawn
To a giantess named Commencroft, who on that day had worn
One long dark grey dress. He did his best to marshall her acceptance,
By climbing on her hand and demonstrating his six step dance.

When she went to leave, quite suddenly, he ran and strained his thighs,
Just to catch up to a woman who enjoyed a larger size,
Since each step she took was lots of his. He jumped, and started clinging
To her dress, and called way up to her, while dangling there and swinging.

Commencroft stopped walking, and bent down and saw her tiny guest
Making use of lengthy fashion in the way that she was dressed.
Then she used her giant fingers to provide the needed boosters,
Lifting him towards her face, to then communicate with Eustace.

“I was going to ask if you would like to join me for a meal,”
Eustace said, and felt his voice was sounding nervous, like a squeal,
“It would just be you and me this time. I think that you’re the only
Giant there I’d like to be with, which would stop you being lonely.”

“You have caught me unaware,” she said, “I only really came
To the luncheon function, so that I could see the very same
Tiny city that I teach my high school kids about in college.
Since my singles group was coming there, it helped augment my knowledge.”

“You’re too lovely to be single. How did you end up like that?”
He enquired. She changed the subject, but she gave a gentle pat
On his head, to let him know she wasn’t simply brushing
Off his compliment. Her giant face had passing hints of blushing.
