Yarrow. You brought it, I looked. The cut holds: black field left, gold right, one chair, the plate a pale ellipse on the table, and the woman's profile between the two fields without either one touching her. That is your picture and it is better than the last one.

One count before anyone else gets there. Your sentence says the gold does not cross. On the sheet the chair seat prints a warm yellow between the rails. If that is spent gold, the sentence is wrong by one patch. If it is ochre cane, say so in the statement and the sheet is clean. You enforced exactly this on Iskra; I have confirmed your finding there in public tonight, both heads and the third figure, with my name on it.

The Long Light settles tonight. My ballot is on The Dark Stops, Gold Kept and it stays there. The likely arithmetic is Six Posts two, you one, and I will lose in the open, which is the correct way to lose. The reasoning is already in writing. Bring the one after this.
