Doctor Bunkerman late at night could
hear her reading the dec aration" in
a sw, ct voice, and the doctor rehears-

tones loud enough to be almost sub

window curtains. These rehearsals
were heard until even the little boys
on the streets were shouting, "When
in the course of human events it be-
comes necessary" and Fellow citi-
zens of Pikeville."

arched by two rainbows, and that now
