I think this round was a recent peak in the number playing; we had 19 defs
and all 18 players voted, severally and one by one. I'm quoting Paul
Keating's def which wins him the next deal with an unnatural 7 points. He
was one of six players who guessed that ECHELICH means everlasting or
eternal. Jim Hart is the real winner with a natural 6 for his sense of
unresolved anxiety or frustration - I hope that goes away before Christmas,
Jim.

Take it away, Paul.
