Why the Other Senses of Grace Fail
Captions available
The idea
Divine favour fails because nothing in the speech is religious. Elegance as ornament fails because the adjective "ready" measures fluency, not beauty. A period of mercy fails on grammar. What survives is the sense that answers "ready", and the adjective is doing the deciding.
In practice
The adjective settles it.
Where people slip
Ready rules out every ornamental reading.
