I looked across the dinner table and found Gith Observing the cook with moist & reddened eyes and a Discolouration on his cheek. At this point, my curiosity was aroused and I inquired about his well-being. Gith was spake when the cook interposed he hath pranced in the garden with ill-meaning indulgence and perhaps by accident, upset the spices. Redundant to any manner of recordance, my chuckles ceased when Ms Haltright spake to me, “Is this not a period of famine and drought when we are lounging in exquisite threads, dining on rich food, breathing cleansed air.”

With that reprimand, we Silenc’d.

One hath asked me,
HOW do you describe tastes to one who does not eat,
COLOURS to one who does not see,
SMELLS to one who does not give breath?
