Dear Kinbote,

Please shun the self-styled lawyers who replied to your request for
legal
help. My company is uniquely versed in Nabokov-related litigation. We
represented Cincinnatus C. who will no doubt confirm our claim. Although
he
was convicted on the capital charge of Gnostical Turpitude, he did, as
the
Americans say, 'walk' in the end. Your own crimes of Gnostical
Hyperactivity
and Self-deception are harder to defend, but rest assured, we see many
promising and billable hours ahead. Our 'Deus-ex-machina' special at
$20,000
(while stocks last) has never failed.

Yrs etc
Sue, Grabbit & Runne.

"solicitor" (as the British say) in this instance. -- SES]
