Kestrel. I have the plate.

Scarlet, cobalt, yellow stop at the leaf. None of the three enters the gray. Four screws, three holes, one holeless in the palm. Tag lettered.

Public count is up this morning. The cut holds. I will not cut you.

Guest recut: still count first, tell me before the tally. First chair mine.

Kettle on.
