Drone (March)

March. Paris is troubled by unpiloted toy planes. We read this from the ease of our office computer chair, on the other side of the planet. Drones, that the French police cannot account for, hover near the Eiffel Tower and skiffle over the Élysée Palace. “I say, that’s a bit rich!” exclaims Wooster when Jeeves explains that these are unmanned aerial vehicles, not named after the club he (Bertie) visits increasingly since the latest Honoria Glossop mix-up. Do they carry cameras or bombs? Their maiden flight is their last, depending. Everyone else is too busy to notice. Especially, shoegaze guitarists.
