    At last they reached the last of the little booths, set down Marvin between them and rested in the shade. Fenchurch bought some cufflinks for Russell, cufflinks that had set in them little polished pebbles which had been picked up from the Quentulus Quazgar Mountains, directly underneath the letters of fire in which was written God's Final Message to His Creation.
    Arthur flipped through a little rack of devotional tracts on the counter, little meditations on the meaning of the Message.
    "Ready?" he said to Fenchurch, who nodded.
    They heaved up Marvin between them.

    They rounded the foot of the Quentulus Quazgar Mountains, and there was the Message written in blazing letters along the crest of the Mountain. There was a little observation vantage point with a rail built along the top of a large rock facing it, from which you could get a good view. It had a little pay-telescope for looking at the letters in detail, but no one would ever use it because the letters burned with the divine brilliance of the heavens and would, if seen through a telescope, have severely damaged the retina and optic nerve.
    They gazed at God's Final Message in wonderment, and were slowly and ineffably filled with a great sense of peace, and of final and complete understanding.
    Fenchurch sighed. "Yes," she said, "that was it."
    They had been staring at it for fully ten minutes before they became aware that Marvin, hanging between their shoulders, was in difficulties. The robot could no longer lift his head, had not read the message. They lifted his head, but he complained that his vision circuits had almost gone.
    They found a coin and helped him to the telescope. He complained and insulted them, but they helped him look at each individual letter in turn, The first letter was a "f", the second an "a", the third a "c", and then a "t". Then there was a gap. An "b" followed, then an "s" and a "d". Another gap.
    Marvin paused for a rest.
    After a few moments they resumed and let him see the "i", and the "s".
    After a few moments they resumed and let him see The last one was a long one, and Marvin needed It started with an "d", then "y" then an "i".
    After a final pause, Marvin gathered his strength for the last stretch.
    He read the "n", and at last the final "g", and staggered back into their arms.
    "I think," he murmured at last, from deep within his corroding rattling thorax, "I feel good about it."
    The lights went out in his eyes for absolutely the very last time ever.
    Luckily, there was a stall nearby where you could rent scooters from guys with green wings.

    the AC isn't me, but has explained why i used three 'i's.

    my point was that taking 'us' from the end of a word then adding 'ii' is not good practice, hence radi'us' becomes radi'ii' - obviously incorrect.

    'virii' just -really- annoys me.
