but I heard just enough to warrant me in writing to you at once on
what appears to me so simple a matter.

TO THE FUTURE A.R.A.--Better luck next time, Mr. SWAN. Be satisfied
that, though at present unelected, you are Swan, R.A., i.e., _Rara
Avis_. As you can plume yourself on this, so "_in hoc Cygno,
vinces!_" Which we caninecally and not canonically for the nonce
nonce-sensically render, "In this (matter), to the Swan (we say) you
will (go in and) win!"
