A professor tries to teach the grammar of “applause” while fending off interruptions from a restless student. What follows is a lesson in words, languages — and unexpected appreciation.
Yes the patience of the lecturer in this story is a visceral tension that holds us in ... to the delightful ending. And the surprising appreciation of the students - and the lovely forecasting of their applause moment - all folding into the tapper's brash acknowledgement at the end. A delight "on toast" from the ether.

Thank you indeed, David.
