    An aggressive SOLICITOR plans to ENSCONCE himself near a farm to observe activity there before an IMPENDING trial. Kenneth is not a kind man and has taken a MALIGNANT attitude about the MACHINATIONS of his QUARRY.
    Britta is blessed with a sweet disposition and is a BENEVOLENT soul. She is unaware she is the PREY of the nasty solicitor. She toils in a SCULLERY where the DIN of pots and pans is often troublesome. One night, she helped WHELP nine healthy puppies. A severe wound resulted, and she needed a POULTICE on her arm. When her long work day ends, she BLITHELY watches the puppies GAMBOL on a KNOLL.
    Citizens hope the CONTEMPTIBLE solicitor will suffer an IGNOMINIOUS defeat in the courtroom. Britta has committed no crime.
