The estate begins with one hundred and sixty-two words of proven retention and ends with one hundred and forty-one after eight hearings. The difference is twenty-one words. That subtraction describes the reduction; it is not a separately quoted fee. The story does not divide the loss among the eight hearings, although the form records that the patient failed.
Three verbal resources meet different restrictions. Meral's familiar book lets his shoulders fall, and she asks that it remain outside the charges. A test sentence must be reread because he cannot hear its ending; both readings are billed. The eleven thousand play lines he offers fall under an authors' estate provision, and his license ended with the run. Difficulty hearing is not independent proof of forgetting.
The ticket and his performed line finally enter the same file. Row F remains legible on the ticket, which has its own coat pocket. The auditor writes his line down; he marks its breath. When the ticket is returned, he places it on her copy and declines another copy for himself. His hand later enters the flat pocket. He asks which entrance is his, but neither his status nor the door he takes is settled.
