THE NIGHT DISPATCH / N05

The beautifully finished clipping

Uncorrected summary

THE ORCHARD IS CLOSED. Fourteen ruled places, two Thursday slips, a sound clock: the week is complete. The old carbon would have reached twenty-seven. The blue arrival must have been the drawer's own number. Dispatch to ASH; leave no open question.

The clipping is unsigned. A pinhole joins it to N09. Its finished grammar has persuaded more than one hurried reader. Its assertions still require the leaves it pretends to summarize.
