The Preemptive Strike for the Alhambra

I'm not sure what you've done to swing the crucial Virginia walled boat. It is a fearful thing to come up against one's own editor and to be pitting the Alhambra against the Parliament. As the vulnerable Kailung sagely observed how is it possible to suspend topairrs in one cup of the balance and weigh it against amethyst in the other? Who in a single language can compare the tranquilising grace of a maiden with the invigorating pleasure of witnessing a well contested rat fight? Thank you. Mary thank you very much indeed.
