There was no snger In the man's soul. He listened. Surely no mere cat ever sang thus hefora. After the second stansa the man felt, even aa Elvira, that an en core was In order.

No historlo bootjacks or "Colonial relics hurtled from windows. No reckless hair brushes or hastily discarded bottles of fragrant essence swirled through the air.
