So take the long standing President of the Board of Trustees who began
|
| 42 |
gentoo likely when you were still in school, peruse, and without
|
| 43 |
hesitation, with the opening line, declare the cited benchmark of
|
| 44 |
evidence as nonsense.
|
| 45 |
|
| 46 |
Sighs, and groans.

Surely no.

This is the way it really is, obviously. Well, to be fair; "Because to
|
| 62 |
me", so not quite. But I can't help being of the impression
|
| 63 |
that because you think so, it must in fact BE.
|
| 64 |
|
| 65 |
Happily, master Neddy being as capable as he is with management of such
|
| 66 |
expression, has already retorted to the description of his conclusion
|
| 67 |
as nonsense as, well, nonsense.
