Quandary Resolution 689
heliolatry, bier, maxixe, machination
Mrs. Kilbourne, a lifelong sun-worshiper, moved to Mexico following her divorce, not only to indulge her heliolatry and to find someone to teach her to dance the maxixe, but also to escape the ruthless machinations of her ex-husband, who would never stop scheming to reduce the alimony he paid her until he was stretched out dead on his bier, lying in state in the mahogany-paneled lobby of Kilbourne, Kilbourne and Kilbourne, Mergers and Acquisitions Division.
