They ___ is not a student of mine had {hanty} {rpohen} to her; she had p___ made notes of my draft whing I refused to leave with her.

I regard this as the experimentum crucis. It proves fully the relevance of the new approach.

[261] The man had broken into the sanctum, but ____ I have the key. I possess the key, but was not certain what I would find in the sanctum. Actually I now know what my _______ was correct. But of course my explanation is much simplest and its inexplications are highly relevant to our time.

This was a wonderful day.
