 What is the significance of Lovenbroy’s seasons?
"The Bogans have launched no less than four military campaigns in the last two decades. "Breaking and entering," Retief said. That's an industrial world of the poor but honest variety." "Our function is merely to bring them together. The wine crop is just about ready. "Only mature every twelve years. In between, the vines don't need a lot of attention, so our time's mostly our own. We've turned all the land area we've got into parks and farms. Lovenbroy's a nice place, Mr. Retief." We've got long seasons back home. Cold as hell in winter; eccentric orbit, you know. Blue-black sky, stars visible all day. Lots of skiing, bob-sledding, ice skating; and it's the season for woodworkers. Our furniture—" "I've seen some of your furniture," Retief said. Lots of metals in our soil and those sulphates give the woods some color, I'll tell you. Lots of beach on Lovenbroy; we're mostly islands. Autumn's our harvest season. Fruit, grain, that kind of thing; getting it in doesn't take long. "Our wine crop is our big money crop," he said. But this year...." Course, I'm only twenty-eight; I can't remember but two other harvests. Retief looked at the two squat bottles, one green, one amber, both dusty, with faded labels, and blackened corks secured by wire.
