The scene was as follows: observe the lamps.
The lineup was like this: look under the clock. Women gather: cloaks can be left. The pit, standing room, and parterre are full.
Regular attendees are noticeably present. A more degrading interpretation has been imposed on these characters, the literal meaning of which decency can scarcely hint at.
It has been shamefully spread by certain jesters (the foul odors of gloom linger in the morning’s schemes), that he suffered from a loathsome illness. Dismiss these lies! The only response worthy of self-respect is to declare that there are certain statements which should not, and one would hope to be able to add, should not be allowed to be made.

The piece was this: look at the lamps.
The cast was thus: see under the clock. Ladies circle: cloaks may be left. Pit, prommer and parterre, standing room only. Habituels conspicuously emergent.
A baser meaning has been read into these characters the literal sense of which decency can safely scarcely hint. It has been blur- tingly bruited by certain wisecrackers (the stinks of Mohorat are in the nightplots of the morning), that he suffered from a vile disease. Athma, unmanner them!

This releasing of the illustrations in combination with an excerpt that features on the same page is really a tedious job. I used to release one post a week and now have to keep up with one post every two days while I have my hands full with this promotion stuff that my publisher imposes upon me. Have no time to do anything else and can’t wait till this book launch is behind me.

I think the launch of your book is perhaps more important than the regularity of your posts
Wishing you all the best๐น๐น๐น
