Ron Boyd (Denver) on Letters from an American

From an earlier LFAA post:

“𝑊ℎ𝑒𝑛 𝐼 𝑢𝑠𝑒 𝑎 𝑤𝑜𝑟𝑑,” Humpty Dumpty said [to Alice], in rather a scornful tone, “𝑖𝑡 𝑚𝑒𝑎𝑛𝑠 𝑗𝑢𝑠𝑡 𝑤ℎ𝑎𝑡 𝐼 𝑐ℎ𝑜𝑜𝑠𝑒 𝑖𝑡 𝑡𝑜 𝑚𝑒𝑎𝑛—𝑛𝑒𝑖𝑡ℎ𝑒𝑟 𝑚𝑜𝑟𝑒 𝑛𝑜𝑟 𝑙𝑒𝑠𝑠.”

"𝐼 𝑑𝑜𝑛'𝑡 𝑘𝑛𝑜𝑤 𝑤ℎ𝑎𝑡 𝑦𝑜𝑢 𝑚𝑒𝑎𝑛 𝑏𝑦 '𝑔𝑙𝑜𝑟𝑦,' " Alice said.

Humpty Dumpty smiled contemptuously. "𝑂𝑓 𝑐𝑜𝑢𝑟𝑠𝑒 𝑦𝑜𝑢 𝑑𝑜𝑛'𝑡—𝑡𝑖𝑙𝑙 𝐼 𝑡𝑒𝑙𝑙 𝑦𝑜𝑢. 𝐼 𝑚𝑒𝑎𝑛𝑡 '𝑡ℎ𝑒𝑟𝑒'𝑠 𝑎 𝑛𝑖𝑐𝑒 𝑘𝑛𝑜𝑐𝑘-𝑑𝑜𝑤𝑛 𝑎𝑟𝑔𝑢𝑚𝑒𝑛𝑡 𝑓𝑜𝑟 𝑦𝑜𝑢!'"

"𝐵𝑢𝑡 '𝑔𝑙𝑜𝑟𝑦' 𝑑𝑜𝑒𝑠𝑛'𝑡 𝑚𝑒𝑎𝑛 '𝑎 𝑛𝑖𝑐𝑒 𝑘𝑛𝑜𝑐𝑘-𝑑𝑜𝑤𝑛 𝑎𝑟𝑔𝑢𝑚𝑒𝑛𝑡'," Alice objected.

"𝑊ℎ𝑒𝑛 𝐼 𝑢𝑠𝑒 𝑎 𝑤𝑜𝑟𝑑," Humpty Dumpty said, in rather a scornful tone, "𝑖𝑡 𝑚𝑒𝑎𝑛𝑠 𝑗𝑢𝑠𝑡 𝑤ℎ𝑎𝑡 𝐼 𝑐ℎ𝑜𝑜𝑠𝑒 𝑖𝑡 𝑡𝑜 𝑚𝑒𝑎𝑛—𝑛𝑒𝑖𝑡ℎ𝑒𝑟 𝑚𝑜𝑟𝑒 𝑛𝑜𝑟 𝑙𝑒𝑠𝑠."

"𝑇ℎ𝑒 𝑞𝑢𝑒𝑠𝑡𝑖𝑜𝑛 𝑖𝑠," said Alice, "𝑤ℎ𝑒𝑡ℎ𝑒𝑟 𝑦𝑜𝑢 𝑐𝑎𝑛 𝑚𝑎𝑘𝑒 𝑤𝑜𝑟𝑑𝑠 𝑚𝑒𝑎𝑛 𝑠𝑜 𝑚𝑎𝑛𝑦 𝑑𝑖𝑓𝑓𝑒𝑟𝑒𝑛𝑡 𝑡ℎ𝑖𝑛𝑔𝑠."

"𝑇ℎ𝑒 𝑞𝑢𝑒𝑠𝑡𝑖𝑜𝑛 𝑖𝑠," said Humpty Dumpty, "𝑤ℎ𝑖𝑐ℎ 𝑖𝑠 𝑡𝑜 𝑏𝑒 𝑚𝑎𝑠𝑡𝑒𝑟—𝑡ℎ𝑎𝑡'𝑠 𝑎𝑙𝑙."

“𝑇ℎ𝑒𝑦’𝑣𝑒 𝑎 𝑡𝑒𝑚𝑝𝑒𝑟, 𝑠𝑜𝑚𝑒 𝑜𝑓 𝑡ℎ𝑒𝑚—𝑝𝑎𝑟𝑡𝑖𝑐𝑢𝑙𝑎𝑟𝑙𝑦 𝑣𝑒𝑟𝑏𝑠, 𝑡ℎ𝑒𝑦’𝑟𝑒 𝑡ℎ𝑒 𝑝𝑟𝑜𝑢𝑑𝑒𝑠𝑡—𝑎𝑑𝑗𝑒𝑐𝑡𝑖𝑣𝑒𝑠 𝑦𝑜𝑢 𝑐𝑎𝑛 𝑑𝑜 𝑎𝑛𝑦𝑡ℎ𝑖𝑛𝑔 𝑤𝑖𝑡ℎ, 𝑏𝑢𝑡 𝑛𝑜𝑡 𝑣𝑒𝑟𝑏𝑠—ℎ𝑜𝑤𝑒𝑣𝑒𝑟, 𝐼 𝑐𝑎𝑛 𝑚𝑎𝑛𝑎𝑔𝑒 𝑡ℎ𝑒 𝑤ℎ𝑜𝑙𝑒 𝑙𝑜𝑡! 𝐼𝑚𝑝𝑒𝑛𝑒𝑡𝑟𝑎𝑏𝑖𝑙𝑖𝑡𝑦! 𝑇ℎ𝑎𝑡’𝑠 𝑤ℎ𝑎𝑡 𝐼 𝑠𝑎𝑦!”

Humpty Dumpty to Alice in Lewis Carroll's classic:

THROUGH THE LOOKING GLASS

𝐇𝐮𝐦𝐩𝐭𝐲 𝐃𝐮𝐦𝐩𝐭𝐲 𝐬𝐚𝐭 𝐨𝐧 𝐚 𝐰𝐚𝐥𝐥,

𝐇𝐮𝐦𝐩𝐭𝐲 𝐃𝐮𝐦𝐩𝐭𝐲 𝐡𝐚𝐝 𝐚 𝐠𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐭 𝐟𝐚𝐥𝐥.

𝐀𝐥𝐥 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐤𝐢𝐧𝐠'𝐬 𝐡𝐨𝐫𝐬𝐞𝐬 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐚𝐥𝐥 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐤𝐢𝐧𝐠'𝐬 𝐦𝐞𝐧

𝐂𝐨𝐮𝐥𝐝𝐧'𝐭 𝐩𝐮𝐭 𝐇𝐮𝐦𝐩𝐭𝐲 𝐭𝐨𝐠𝐞𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐫 𝐚𝐠𝐚𝐢𝐧.

I’m impressed you got Substack to use a variety of fonts and bold!
