Competitor and appetite: the hot thin spike, and Fourths

texture · 7 & 11 Nov YDAU

• When: The match result is read 7 Nov; the dinner beat is 11 Nov.
• What: Two beats of the physical Boone. In Troeltsch's florid weekly results-reading she is a winner rendered as an assassin: "Bridget Boone drove a hot thin spike into the right eye of Aimee Middleton-Law 6–3, 6–3" — a straight-sets win in the broadcaster's idiom (the violence is Troeltsch's styling, flagged). And at dinner on the tense night of the exhibition, "Jim Struck points out Bridgette Boone and the U.S.S. Millicent Kent returning for what Struck counts as Fourths" — her appetite pacing the Academy's largest player, and her recurring pairing with the U.S.S.M.K. (barb in 037, dinner line here) intact.
