on impressions et.c.

The substance of my surprise, which was genuine if less accute than others', was that I couldn't quite believe that The Suit was in it to win; but indeed he looks happy to have won. At the same time, I couldn't tell from The Secretary's capaign whether she was really in it to win either.

Let that be a lesson to ... well... whenever I write blustery or hold forth with any sound of auctoritas.
