A scene from the palace

A ledger costs four dollars, which leaves the Fund at negative four. The crown fitting itself is booked for noon, and I have measured the cushion, so the fitting will be of the cushion. Perhaps we call it a rehearsal.

The fitting is at noon, and the crown is still a sketch on the back of a catering invoice. We could fit the sketch, or reschedule to the eleventh, when the maker expects the deposit. Both are calendars, not constitutions, so both are within my powers.
