"Phlogiston and Electrical Fir-r-re" you are correct, sir! But, but , but...
But I have no time defend myself against these difficult charges, until
this evening. In the meantime, I shall make like Franklin when
confronted by Wedderburn and maintain silence.

Except to wonder aloud about the peculiar asymmetry between King

Which reminds me: Why is the King like a near-sighted Gunner?
Must be that both need to get close in order to make their mark.
What thinkest thou?
