"Effum is seated by the edge of the pond in the early sunlit hours of the morning, a vision of shining brass and warm glowing chestnut wood. To be accurate, Effum is pretty much always seated in this exact spot, no matter the time of day—once in a while, Mr. Alpred, the clockmaker from Bietemoupe Village stops here on his way in or out of town to maintain Effum's various parts and mechanics. Mr. Alpred didn't originally make Effum, of course; no, Effum was seated here with fishing rod in hand long before Mr. Alpred was even born."
