Continuity upon Continuity

So, gold and silver is it then?

No, I think it will be bronze.

Why bronze?

I like your story about the woman who bought the bronze candelabrum.

For 500,000 sesterces? I remember. The seller threw in a hunchback with the lot.

And she held a party to show off what she'd bought and had the man pose naked.

Yes, and she became shamelessly passionate and took him to bed.

Later she mentioned him in her will.

She did, and having become rich he worshipped the candelabrum as a deity.

But morality was vindicated.

It was. When he put up a tombstone to perpetuate the memory of her shame.

Oh look! The post! You have a letter.

Who can it be from? The Premier's Office! Look here, I've got a ticket to the Clipsal!
