Only One - The Penultimate Bobbin

Among other things, I did a bunch of plying yesterday!  Here is the second to the last bobbin of Only One, with a few friends:

" In his book, Macinnis endeavors to describe poisonous compounds and their science, relate which historical figures are implicated in the use of these poisons, and document how these poisons are referred to literature.
