All the king’s horses and all the king’s men showed up

tonight,” mused Wyston to himself as he snatched another

glass of champagne from the server’s tray. He hated the

governor’s cocktail parties; it was always an _1_ task to

maintain a friendly; _2_ demeanor around so many obvious

_3_ seeking favors from the administration. After two

hours, Wyston had to struggle to prevent his tired, polite

smile from turning into a _4_. It took all he had to pretend

to listen and nod at the _5_ stories of the wannabe rich and

famous. There was also the annoying babble of the _6_ -

single attendees who lacked the _7_ required to be alone.

They forced themselves into conversations and then held

the listeners captive by withholding any opportunities to

escape. When Wyston could no longer tolerate the

pestering, he stepped outside and waited for the Governor

to arrive and deliver his _8_ to the idiotic crowd.
