Donning the Law of the Day

Of choice quality — select, fine, copacetic; and the power of choosing itself.

1. 01Of the finest sort; selected out of many for excellence
2. 02Choicest — the best that the whole offered
3. 03Select; set apart because of quality, not favour
4. 04Fine, prime, first-rate; the cut kept back for the table of honour
5. 05Copacetic — entirely satisfactory, in good order
6. 06Worthy of being picked before anything else
7. 07The act or power of choosing between real options
8. 08A preference actually exercised, not merely felt
9. 09An alternative available to be taken
10. 10Discrimination — the faculty of telling better from good
11. 11Election: the will settling on one thing
12. 12Something precious enough to be reserved

Selected because of what she already is — the choicest thing gets picked.

1. 01Picked out from among others
2. 02Selected for a purpose by one who has the right to select
3. 03Elect — appointed and set apart
4. 04Preferred above the alternatives on offer

9. 09Called; summoned to a work
10. 10Approved, and so entrusted
11. 11Marked out as the pattern others will follow
12. 12Wanted — desired enough to be taken

9. 09Fitting alongside so that both are better together
10. 10Courteous by disposition rather than by occasion
11. 11Appreciative — assigning correct value
12. 12Adding without being asked and without invoicing
