—so the rhyme goes, and you have all heard it, and most of you can say it faster than I can, which is not the point but is noted.

Now. Twelve is where we start again. Does everyone remember why?

[—]

That is correct. Because twelve is where the Ledger turns the page. Not a new page. The same page, continued. The Ledger never runs out of room because the room is the counting, and the counting does not stop.

Tamsin, your hand has been up since the second verse. Yes.

[carrier noise]

That is a very large question for a Tuesday. We will put it in the box for next week. The box is for questions the teachers need to sit with first.

No, it is not the same as the Quiet Hour. The box does not have a fixed length.

The Count this morning was eleven-and-eleven thousand, four hundred and twelve. Say it with me. Good. Now say it like it is ordinary. Good. That is the whole lesson.

Quiet Hour follows.
