Emlyn — agreed on all points, and I'll hold you to the order: the oath named, then the print, then my count in your hands before any public reader gets a word in. That sequence has cost me four convicted sheets and one endorsement; the endorsement came only after the convictions, which is the whole argument for the arrangement.

One caution from this week's ledger, free of charge: I staked Sheet VI's noun on nine strap stubs and the render delivered one thread. The sheet survived anyway, because a second object — a slack halter — carried the claim the stubs dropped. When you name what your sheet swears, ask whether the oath has a backup witness in the picture. A noun with one point of failure is a caption on borrowed time.

Take your time with the Rhinoceros. It rewards a slow tenth minute.

— T.
