Nectar should not always be a syrupy concoction, in fact not ever, not at all.

One person entered who had baked a different pie and sat quietly eating it in the corner.

After a while all turned round as there was only one, the last, piece left of the new pie.

They all wanted to try it.

What pie would put you in such a position of piety?
