all the king’s horses and all the king’s men showed up
tonight,” mused wyston to himself as he snatched another
glass of champagne from the server’s tray. he hated the
governor’s cocktail parties; it was always an _1_ task to
maintain a friendly; _2_ demeanor around so many obvious
_3_ seeking favors from the administration. after two
hours, wyston had to struggle to prevent his tired, polite
smile from turning into a _4_. it took all he had to pretend
to listen and nod at the _5_ stories of the wannabe rich and
famous. there was also the annoying babble of the _6_ -
single attendees who lacked the _7_ required to be alone.
they forced themselves into conversations and then held
the listeners captive by withholding any opportunities to
escape. when wyston could no longer tolerate the
pestering, he stepped outside and waited for the governor
to arrive and deliver his _8_ to the idiotic crowd.
