Mr Kent

• best prepare excuses now ...

  no one wants to lose the Manor House
• I understand the outcome...

  he must fear for her
• addressing us from aloft like...

  a huntsman talking fondly to his hounds or beaters
• our Caesar...

  now seems powerless
• I've never known him not _

  I've never known him not available
• reports in...

  a sunken whisper
• this is my reminder that we once...

  drank at the same breast
• the house where...

  horrors are preserved
• the thread that links them [Kent and Jordan] ...

  is a flimsy one.
• He does not want to list...

  the changes that will come
• rational observers for whom "_" is absurd

  rational observers for whom "agriculture without coin" is absurd
• friends and ...

  neighbours
• he means to throw ...

  a halter round our lives
