And indeed from there I saw the answer, which David DeLaney had given
me; I had gotten some details wrong; it was a woman, Segnbora, who
spoke to the dragons - and the passage was from a supplemental chapter
at the end of "The Door into Shadow" by Diane Duane.
The actual passage involved was merely:
"The Dragons have promised to remind human beings
to insert another one-day intercalary day every 3300 yearsthough
there is still disagreement over why they laughed so hard when they
promised."
...so my memory had embellished it with considerable detail.
