What a gorgeous store the guy (?) has ... and what a pretty penny
he wants, too.
Re. the sword -- have you ever tried to cit through something that
simply will not give from the top down, only to find that if you
slice upwards with the tension that grabbing it with your other
hand, or tension because of its juxtaposition (say, plastic "tape"
around a box) affords, it slices like butter?

sinewy bits
We agree. I think it's an ideal grip for cutting hair, a poor one
for cutting someone's head off. The grip answers the question about
what's going on. I wonder *why* it's going on. It looks to me more
like a moment of punishment or anger than the beginning of a girl-
disguised-as-a-boy tale.
