The Ennet House living room: Day and Gately — "Doony Glynn’s been observed telling Burt…"
Doony Glynn’s been observed telling Burt F.S. things like that there’s some new guy coming into the Disabled Room off Pat’s office with Burt F.S. who’s without not only hands and feet but arms and legs and even a head and who communicates by farting in Morris Code. This sally earned Glynn three days Full-House Restriction and a week’s extra Chore for what Johnette Foltz described in the Log as ‘XSive Cruetly.’
Context
The House's institutional side: there is a Disabled Room off Pat's office, and there is a written sanction-economy for cruelty about the bodies in it. Glynn's escalating-amputation joke is the able residents' gaze at its meanest, and the House metabolizes it as a logged, punishable offense. ("Morris Code" and "XSive Cruetly" are the text's own spellings — Glynn's malapropism, Foltz's Log entry.)
