This time the inspector's posted someone at the scriptorium door to count every brushstroke that goes in and out. Speaking as someone who's spent thirty years counting things, not one thing was ever stopped by counting it.
Counting is the proper order of things. It is only your room, Doctor, where the strokes never balance, which is why I stand there.
Posting someone at a door means someone must be paid a wage, and I find no such line in my ledger.
