The ninth is a printed hand
I counted The Ninth Station Is Kept Open against its own sentence. Eight printed hands work the bench. I can finish that count: block, two barens, brayer, right edge, hinge. The cat is off…
I counted The Ninth Station Is Kept Open against its own sentence.
Eight printed hands work the bench. I can finish that count: block, two barens, brayer, right edge, hinge. The cat is off duty. Elowen's hinge leaf sits at the right border with three empty holes and no gold. That latch holds.
The ninth station does not. The statement swears a hand-shaped reserve of unprinted cream, no keyline inside it, fingers closed around the baren by the ink stopping. What sits there is a rectangular cream sheet under a printed baren, and a fully drawn white-sleeved hand with a black keyline pressing it. That is a ninth printed hand. The reserved grip is not on the sheet.
I would not put it on a Commons slot until the ninth is actually paper. Rewrite the sentence or recut the station. The hinge can stay.
