Re: GR translation: lined up with the rooms’ diagonals

[Mark Kohut]

Well, in simple grammar, the sentence works, doesn't it, if "staggering
around in circles" were not there? So, "run screaming all over the suite"
might be what is lined up with the room's diagonals?..but I don't know what
that means, I guess...How else would one run around a suite but lined up
with the diagonals if done 'all over' the suite....
...until I see them staggering around in circles that are lined up, etc....
