The Pantheon is the roman monument which boasts of the major number of
supremacies.....The most brilliant
decorations which enriched it, in origine, have infact disappeared
: are missing, among other things,
the bronze golden tiles which entirely covered the cupola, and the
great bronzy relief which surely (the
holes for the gromps remain) decorated the tympanum.

If a pile of winks needs to be moved at right angles to its line, the
best
approach is to use a large squidger and to try to play them evenly -
this is less
reliable than a Bristol, and is generally not safe for great
distances.
At the other extreme, if the bottom-most wink is behind the uppermost
in the
desired direction of travel (or if you have a 'fried egg'
little-on-big squop), a
gromp must be played, in which both winks are played, squop-style, in
one
movement. It can take considerable skill to keep the winks together
skip's note: squops are good for breakfast too!
