door sill near her. 1t was a fitting
floor with an axis in the center
which allowed 1t to drop at one end
and rise at the other until il was
completely turned upside down.
The Hidden Hand seized Verda's
handbag and flung 1t through the
door on the floor. 1t fell, rested a
moment. then, as the floor tilted,
