No question about it: Chuck's lashing out, #3, and Nancy's totally shot
state, #15, were the big favorites. Nancy, with four votes, lucks out as
the real winner; Chuck, with six, gets the deal for round 1813--which is as
it should be: he's one of the tiny minority not observing a Monday holiday,
it being Memorial Day in the US and bank holiday in the UK.
The true def is #12, the holy-water basin. Johnny, who reads dictionaries
for fun, knew that; Chris guessed it and spoiled my potential D0.
Over to you, Chuck!
