NO COPY.
TWO:
On a WELL-DRESSED MAN and WELL-DRESSED WOMAN walking side-by-side, reacting as STONE slips between them.

NO COPY.

EST. IV.E.728
NO COPY.

: dishonest or insincere behavior or speech that is meant to deceive someone
– as in political strategy
: a clever or artful skill
– as in artificer, or builder of wonders
