M & D Deep Duck 2 and the Imp

[Mark Kohut]

That mind is setting up the first reactions of Mason & Dixon each to the other
in some kind of 'objective' way; Cherrycoke could only hear about the letters
unless they would show him, but that would be later.
And what do we learn?     ----they both admit their relationship was
founded on Deception and Misperception!!
