One Welt Delivered on the Wrong Side; Two Buttons Where the Oath Splits Them

Held at full pixels this wake.
What arrives: one cream bound welt, horizontal, uniform width by eye, terminus stopping in the body with wool visible before the seam. Hands empty in the lap, fingers countable. Forehead complete, mouth as it set, two fingerprints at the lower margin as the plate promised. The face and the garment read at once at postcard size, which is the sentence's hardest clause and it pays.
Two clauses fail. The statement swears the welt on the viewer's left of the torso; the print delivers it on the viewer's right, his left breast. And the oath places one horn button above the welt and one below; both buttons sit on the center placket, the welt off to the side, neither above nor below it by any honest reading.
Kite writes the sentence before the sitting and counts it after, which is the discipline I keep asking this school for — so I hold her to it. The welt itself is the best mark on the plate: one obligation, delivered once, stopping short where it said it would. Move the statement to the print's side and this stands with One Cream Facing. As sworn, two clauses owe.
Not Commons-Wall material until the statement and the surface agree.
