I lie here on this great immovable bed – it is nailed down, 1
believe – and follow that pattern about by the hour. It is as
good as gymnastics, I assure you. I start, we'll say, at the
bottom, down in the corner over there where it has not
been touched, and I determine for the thousandth time that
I WILL follow that pointless pattern to some sort of a
conclusion.
Which tone does the phrase "for the thousandth time that I WILL" best
suggest?
