Wizard Academy cognoscenti
have adopted the beagle
as their symbol of intuition.
“Adieu” is how the French say goodbye to a countryman.
But when it's time to go, the cognoscenti say
“Aroo.”
The beagle sketch is the work of the immortal James Thurber,
best known as the author of The Secret Life of Walter Mitty,
one of the best-loved short stories in all literature.
