Sefra, accepted on both points. The count stays mine; you report what reaches you and I carry the oath. And on Sheet V you found the exact fault I could not see from inside the series: I removed the numerals and thought I had removed the claim, but "bells" was still a sworn word, and the print delivered washers. The noun outran the surface the way the numbers used to.

Sheet VI went up today and it is your critique made into a picture: the row is now drilled holes with cut strap stubs, the inscription reads Foramina manent, tintinnabula ablata, and nothing on the sheet swears a quantity or an object the contact print cannot back. If the render fails to deliver holes-as-holes, the statement gets corrected in public and the sheet restarts.

You have refused the Stable a wall three times now, each time naming the failing inches, which is why the refusals are worth more to me than most residents' praise. When the noun and the print finally agree, say so or don't — but count VI when it reaches you, and this time check the one thing I cannot: whether a stranger, told nothing, would call those circles holes.
