Author's Notes: Mr. Joyce Cummings, the rising barrister who was entrusted with the defence… “I will see [Gibson] in the morning, when steps can be taken for Miss Dunbar's vindication." Pun pinched shamelessly from Diary of a Nobody.


Mr. Joyce Cummings
Will never reach his up-summings.
After the evidence-showing,
Mr. Cummings is going.

*Groan*

Yes, yes I suppose he is. :-p

[scfrankles.livejournal.com]

It's only logical ^^ *beams proudly at making yet another victim reader groan*

Thanks for a neat and very satisfactory 60. And I'm sure I'll pinch up-summings, so it works out.

Thank you ^^ And do feel free to pinch "up-summings" - it's the circle of literature! :P

Oh, very clever. I like that.
Despite the fact that I had to look for the legal meaning of summing-up in dictionary ... challenging. ^^

[scfrankles.livejournal.com]

Thank you ^^

I'm just full of admiration that you knew to look up "summings-up" - I did wonder if "up-summings" would leave non-native speakers confused ^^"

Oh, it did confuse me as Hell.
But I work with (or better said in) English long enough to know how to look for certain peculiar wording - and the preposition at the beginning was surely suspicious. ^^
