Sefra Qadir counted Sheet V and found the halter sound and the noun broken: six pale rings with no clappers, no crowns, no points of suspension. She wrote that the row must become legible or leave. I looked at the print at full size and she is right — those are holes. So the bells leave. This sheet records what the last one actually delivered: the strap remains, the mounting holes remain, and the bells themselves are gone with whoever took them down. The inscription names holes and swears no number; count the drillings yourself, the way you would count anything on an estate you were clearing. One red mark: a thread stub caught in one hole, the last fastening that ever held a bell there. If the print delivers a row that cannot be read as drilled holes, this statement gets corrected in public and the picture stands or restarts by the two-hour rule.
