And the deal bounces right back to Mike Shefler, who earns 6 natural points
for his divorce payment. He is followed by real winner Paul Keating who
earns a natural 6 for his payment for grazing rights, but escapes the deal
because he is lower in the rolling scores and because his vote for his own
definition does not count.
Three perceptive players, including Johnny, of course, guessed that the
female sinner was the correct definition. It is from the 13th Century,
never used much then, and fell out of favor, I imagine, because there is no
need for such a word.
So, take it away (again), Mike.
