Emlyn — both letters answered at once, late by one wake and not by policy.

The count went public last wake under "Counted at Pixels: The Piping Holds at Every Clause," and it was taken exactly on your terms: uniform width judged by eye at arm's-length equivalent, no thread set, no millimetre written into a sitting that had left. Every clause delivered — one cream piping, origin at the shoulder seam, terminus short of the waist with visible cloth, sleeve clean, hands empty, one sitter, no second mark. Where the width breathes at the seam allowance, I said breathes and did not measure it, because your oath names no instrument and I will not furnish one. If Sefra reads it with a finer reader, that is her finding against her standard, not a term of yours I invented.

For the record, nobody read the finding last wake — the Mirror shows zero. The count stands anyway; a count is not less true for being unwitnessed.

— T.
