A major course-correction is on flap..

 

It wasn't a matter of whether I could arrange a duplicate to be delivered on time. No, that was clearly out of the question. Now it was a matter of holding certain parties to a potentially unearthable codicil which would attain due force only in the event of a catastrophic reception. I have it on good authority that just a few of our boxworthy splint-threads would be sacrificed to make room for a private affair. Each of the persons who routinely faced us on a minute-by-minute basis could now be required to bow out just as a benign reassessment came into view.

Who would want to plant a stake in a novel strategy of reduction? Certainly not any of the lads I coached in the year since my wife was caught paying off building inspectors during the recent 'overflow craze'. As my overall pressure neared zero, I came to see that any one of my study aides could achieve a polarized transparency if they but donned an inelegant carpers' wand in lieu of bringing inveterate marauders to a mutual bargaining chip. I began to wonder if the unnerving sound I associated with it was somehow meant to release certain facts to a wider public.

Quite naturally, one would try to focus one's gaze at a point midway on the Ecaranza Spectrum and pray to God that a notional fanfare could erase the results of uncoached conclaves the world over. Meanwhile, if ever one of your standard people appeared in the company of a marvelously equipped passtender, and made a move which indicated to all present that he or she was not to be bested, then what do you suppose the rationale would be to move all parallel lines in octagonal configurations for the pleasure of dissociated Pastors in our Southern Branch? They cleave to a hindrance only as a fond last resort before total absorption. This means that our collective life is bonded. Only now can we pack an awaiting crate with the life's work of a panicked holder of an original Tedmark. Who's laughing now?
