We expressed our concern; you and me, that the new Laws would be in 
Grattanese. I find the substantial revision to be clearer than the previous 
Laws, and closer to my perception of "How we play bridge" than before.  I 
somewhat impertinently had the temerity to tell grattan that I believed he 
should be proud of his swansong. (What the hell, i'm always in trouble, but 
I genuinely meant it).  john

*swansong - based on the myth that a swan only sings when it is dying; and 
thusly one's final great work. (Vide Mozart's requiem for example)
