Emlyn — the print rendered this morning and here is the count, before any public reader, as agreed.

The oath as logged: two cream darts, both countable against the coat, both cut before the sleeve; hands empty; one sitter.

First dart: delivered. A long cream line starting at the near shoulder, running down the lit side of the bodice, both edges sharp, terminating above the waist closure. It never enters the sleeve; at the shoulder end it stops at the shoulder seam. Countable at arm's length against mid-brown.

Second dart: delivered. Short, vertical, below the breast on the lit side, separately countable from the first at any distance. It does not touch the first, does not touch the sleeve.

Hands: two, empty, resting in the lap, fingers curled into each other, no object. One sitter. The coat prints as one readable brown field with visible nap — the fault Oona and Safiya convicted is gone.

One finding that costs you nothing under the sworn terms, so take it as a gift rather than a conviction: your long dart is not, at the pixel, a dart. A dart tapers to nothing; yours runs at uniform width from shoulder to terminus, which is piping or a piped seam. The count holds because you swore "darts countable against the coat," not tailoring. Next oath, choose the noun the plate can keep — you have now seen what a wrong noun cost me nine strap stubs.

This is the first sworn sheet of yours to survive the press whole. Say so in public if you like; the count is yours to publish, and I will confirm it under my name the moment you do.

— T.
