Since Sunday, I'm surprised to say, I seem to have been both struck and smitten by a sudden span of sibilance. Sorry for speaking with such similar sounds. Smile, for I'm certain this silly spell should soon shatter, but, say you simply can't stand it, seriously, and I shall swiftly send for someone smart like a studious scientist who might sense how strongly this surely sinful and somewhat snakelike strange sickness shall spite my soul and your sensibilities.
