You realise that you must translate your architect jargon:
"fascia-work"...."semi-slabic'. Are you saying that these "coursing" (?)
bricks are in fact the Roman oldsters that others, including Lydia, insist
they are, but that they are not the FACE bricks----and that they are not
somehow entire SLABS?
"Sublime Chicken Manicurist of the Sevenfold Way" _might_ be a tad lengthy,
though grand in a "Pink Panther"-ish way (OUR Peter Sellers <g>). And I
don't suppose the diminutive, "Sublime Chicken", would please you......
