Principal. Think about how improper it is to misrender the disclosures of your relatives, how indelicate to distort all the declarations of your superintendents. Further grade my mouthings: for unbarricaded calm always transforms into distrust, I do not wish for my pity and admission for you to develop into sinful permittivity.

Lojzka. I thank you for this all-helpful preach.

Geni. Do your best to follow it, for the god to retrieve you from eternal fast and of penance in Montana.

Komar. (Insofar he did not join the talk as he prefers his calm place behind the workbench.) I think it is only careful and smart to weight our utters, insofar as personages sitting by us are not our comrades by heart, but by ear only.

Komar. You heard my words clear and fair.
