donic, very wise. In Mr. Arnold's
version an intricate facial mask
conveyed pain : the quality of
jmovement through the shoulders
the sardonic: the gnomic depths of

From, it all, interpreting this
lengthy discourse by the leader of

Henderson should be encouraged
from as many sources as possible;.
