Amen Rhubarb, not to mention neat, concise, and coherent. I guess it takes knowing two languages to master one if that one happens to be English. Good show, Branny.

Thanks >< I love concise, but mainly focussed on the non nautical use of the words. It just worked.

His date, a paragon of virtue, could hardly countenance his conduct, though he tried to gloze his tendency to tarry and bluff his way out of having arrived an hour late.

I hope you will countenance my delay as I tarry to bluff you out of your good performance; I do not gloze the fact that you are the paragon of weekly phrases.
( Does this look like glozing? it �s! )

It was his greatest foible, as well as his forte, that he handled with masterful �lan every conversational riposte, yet felt himself immeasurably wounded by each touch� of his interlocutor.

Matching forte to forte and foible to foible their conversation admitted neither victory nor surrender until her last riposte, tossed over her shoulder with consummate �lan as she paused in the open door, struck him with the force of a physical blow, leaving him only the breath to sigh "Touch�."
