The record — long form
Point of Honor is the mystery — the 'Honor' that's the name's unknown, the 'no duel' that's the record's blank. The 'octagonal' is the shaped — the 'bays' that's the front's push, the 'Federal' that's the style's mark. The 'book built' is the sourced — the 'Biddle's patterns' that's the design's root, the 'carpenter's assistant' that's the guide's name.
The 'died months' is the paired — the 'William Eliza' that's the '30 loss, the 'inherited' that's the Daniel's gain. The 'stucco stripped' is the peeled — the '1841' that's the cover's date, the 'restored back' that's the '70s' choice. Point of Honor is the used — the 'recreation' that's the '28 role, the 'museum' that's the '77's open.
The file keeps Point of Honor: the mystery name, the octagonal bays, the book design, and the paired deaths.
