We accept the council's recollection that they did not know. They had every right to know. We thought we did let them know and if they say we didn't then we accept that. It was always our intention to tell them.

Buy the rumor, sell the fact.

Some report elsewhere whatever is told them; the measure of fiction always increases, and each fresh narrator adds something to what he has heard. [Lat., Hi narrata ferunt alio; mensuraque ficti Crescit et auditus aliquid novus adjicit auctor.]
