Hi again, James!  This is a continuation of my previous message to you:

JB>  the first part of a "carcass" to hit the bedspread
JB>  when calling it 'the caboose "end"'.


           Okay.  Rear end, derriŠre, caboose, coda....   :-)



JB>  The "beginning of the end", is precisely the time-line
JB>  I was trying to impart.


           And that's what I thought you meant originally....  :-)



JB>  I forget the Italian term for a pause in music, (I can
JB>  only rack my brain for one indication for one, despite
JB>  your recalling six.)


           I imagine you probably mean a "fermata", AKA as a
"hold" or "bird's eye".  There are "railroad
tracks" (//) & the "Grand Pause" (G.P.) as well.  I
suppose "railway tracks" would bring the total to six.  At first
I thought you were either giving me more credit than I deserve or using
hyperbole... [grin].



JB>  it would seem Nora is allotted one before you get on
JB>  with the phrases/phases that finish "the piece"/night.


           Exactly.  And once we arrive home, it may take some time to get
her settled before we consider when (or how) to contact our own
bedspread....  :-)
