promised explanation? The court will listen
when you're ready.

very damp, and, like good many other gov.
eminent arrangem ents, very slippery.
The calendar says this is December, but

the reporters table entirely too far from the
Clerks desk, and in a position which viii
nece ssitate reporters leaving their table te
