Something has happened on . which everyone can agree: the elevator fire. It was quite a fire, it was hot, it was a heck of a time to have an elevator burn down.

Agreement (they say) , is really fun when the habit is acquired. 1 • • * • • Grandma used to believe that ALL THEY COULD DO WA8 WATCH IT BURN.
