Today’s Post brought to you as a skit performed by the kitchen staff: Kitchen Mgr Ben, Nikelia, Paul, and Nash 🙂
Silence in the Campbrary
Ben: You know, this is the busiest building in the camp. So where is everyone? It’s silent.
Nikelia: Alford Hall?
Ben: The camp. The whole camp.
Nikelia: Maybe it’s Sunday?
Ben: No, I never pay attention to where people are on Sundays, Sundays are boring.
Paul: Hey! Who turned out the lights?
Nikelia: But where have they all gone? More than a hundred people here but they’re all missing.
Ben: That’s what we haven’t figured out yet.
Nash: Silent counsel fire.
Paul: What?
Ben: Of course! Silent counsel fire.
Nikelia: What’s that?
Ben: The last counsel fire of the summer. It’s very important. All the games are played with great reverence and everyone has a chance to give gratitude for the summer.
Nash: And when they leave they’re silent.
Ben: Yes! Silent for the whole night until they wake up the next morning.
Nikelia: Then what?
Nash: They stay silent all the way through till the next morning.
Ben: Exactly! Nash is it?
Nash: Yes.
Ben: Nash, I’ve got something very important for you to do, possibly the most important thing you’ve ever done.
Nash: What?
Ben: Can you see the counsel fire from here?
Nash: Yes.
Ben: What does it look like?
Nash: Well, someone’s telling a Native American legend it looks like.
Nikelia: And there are people starting to dance. WIth fire!
Paul: Fire lighters!
Nikelia: THe bonfire just burst into flame of its own accord!
Ben: Ha! Brilliant!
Nash: Now what?
Ben: Now they sing. Which means we better get going. We still have things to do before we stop talking.
Nikelia: On it!
Nash: Me too.
Paul: Hey! Who turned out the lights?

Well, it’s of course Doctor Who S4:E8, Silence in the Library! As to why it’s significant, I’ll let someone else get a shot at it.
