Nocturne

Deep in the night: according to my dictionary, "a useful" (noun) in Australian slang means "a person who runs errands or handles unimportant tasks."

Megra screamed: "Utilitarians, beware!"

"Because," Zadie added, "Useful shan't mean important."

Relevance is closer in meaning to importance than to usefulness. Sands trickled down a palm tree at night. Quack-quack, the quacker quacked. Then the day broke.
