The crowd laughs, well that is to say, some of them laugh. More than a few are not so sure any more. The crowd begins to look at Marion in a new way. The Lord's prayer is wrong. Hill is getting a bit desperate now.
People begin to say.
At this moment in time attention turns away from Harold Hill and the crowd drifts away towards the Library. Hill is left alone. Somehow it went wrong. He had imagined that in the end he would have convinced many people to avoid the Book of Mormon, and that he would have ended up with the girl Marion at his side, marching down the main street leading a big parade of people who were grateful for his wise help. But then again this is real life and not some sort of 1960's musical.
