ever. when we were tucked in, and
Jerry had shut the door with a
flourish. We wouldn't or couldn't

into silence. greeted Jerry's siren

tho engine were protesting against
an unkind and discriminating fate.
a few loud explosions would rise to
high heaven, and then subside into
deatb-like stiffness. Jerry, perspir-
ing freely. disappeared under the
machine. A crowd gathered exhort-
ing him with advice and jeers. Our
mothers took out their knitting and
settled themselves IN unconcern.
