The Theme For April Would Seem To Be "Dismay"

Oh dear. I wasn't even going to put forth a comment regarding this particular cravat, which I do like. What's not to like?  It is the Picture Of Formality: with its stripes of polished sterling and onyx, it is a set of handsome cufflinks and tie clasp by itself.  And its knot was impeccable.  Its timing, however, was...regretful.  A quick check of The Report Daybook will sadly confirm that this tie last made an appearance on The Nightly set just a few broadcasts ago--21 April.  Oh my.  Most unfortunate, as April is already Tragically Bereft Of Fashion Success.
