She would then raise her other hand to show the hourglass-shaped dagger used to prick any who doth stare too long at or question the authority of the Hourglass.<br /><br />The Counter of the Sentences would then turn to Busy-body and vow to count to four, only to four, and break up any run-on sentences as appropriate. She would then brandish the gilded Ruler of Compliance that she will use to whack any who doth dare to speak beyond four sentences.<br /><br />After a moment to contemplate their positions of responsibility, the meeting could then begin.Sarahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03665794050418919719noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5249846981601420959.post-31969285925992885962011-06-27T18:26:10.580-07:002011-06-27T18:26:10.580-07:00CCR--It takes a lot of practice.
