Sorry And here's your shmoop du jour brought to you

by maryland which was a lot less merry back in

00:08

the slave days Hey Time All right in paragraph five

00:45

the phrase every leaf in green suggests that colonel lloyd's

00:50

operation what And here the potential answers way leaf and

00:59

grain sounds like the name of an overpriced vegan restaurant

01:02

us but we're guessing colonel lloyd wouldn't fit in at

01:05

one of those it's not home in any place where

clearly has nothing to do with any kind of accident

01:49

correctly diagnosing the colonel's type A personality Douglas uses the

01:54

phrase every grain and leaf to show that he keeps

01:57

track of every speck of rory What douglas doesn't tell

02:01

us is that the colonel's just is obsessive about his

breakfast cereal One grain falls he's on the floor all 00:02:07.68 --> [endTime] morning with a magnifying glass
