Conrad continues to squeeze what humour he can out of that phrase, like the last sad pulp-filled drops from a lemon slice being squeezed in a vice - hey, that's not bad, is it? Pure spur of the moment. Conrad still has it when it comes to words.
Art? Can we have a picture to illustrate the title?

Once again a word rises up from the depths of Conrad's mind (a dark and terrible place) to meet with the cold light of day.

- exactly where I didn't want it to. No, not on my books today, this time it was my chair at the kitchen table.
It took me physically picking the chair up and shaking it before Jenny got the message and moved. Thankfully not onto my books. Truly an example of the "If I fits I sits" attitude of these creatures.
