No, no, you've got it wrong AGAIN.
= (Ill fell) + (while travelling) + (Gloria) + (on Monday).
The allusion being to the personification of a capitalist state (as distinct
from Uncle Sam for the US, Britannia for Great Britain, Marianne for France,
Uma Bharti for India, and so on) fondly called Gloria by economist mavens.
So
The capitalist state fell ill on Black Monday because it wandered away from its
origins.
That's what lack of an education does to people (not me; you).
I should be sending you an invoice or something.
