Words are escaping from the flagship project of the prestigious
House of Words. Something must be done fast to get them back before
a rival company is brought in to take over the project. But the
lexicographers below deck are not being cooperative. Treated as
slaves they use their time when not supervised to play word games,
facing the threat of the overseer's whip if discovered. The
management suspects that they may be aiding the leakage and their
ringleader is clapped in irons. Emissaries are sent to negotiate
with the words now living in riotous anarchy in the wild woods, but
with little success. The words have certain demands if they are to
return. An ultimatum is relayed to the irascible editor-in-chief,
who cannot allow this undermining of editorial policy. His aging
boss, the publisher, who is himself having difficulty remembering
words, is only interested in cost-efficiency. A solution of a
surprising kind is finally brokered by a humble female servitor
sympathetic to the lexicographers? cause.
