Okay...I give up....
I should have specified that this was a series circuit of two capacitors
across the pins. My little parenthetical tried to indicate that I, in my
old age, could not remember if it was pos-neg-to-neg-pos or
neg-pos-to-pos-neg. I never meant to state, imply or infer that it was a
paralleled pair of capacitors.
