A long silence followed as each thought of the follies of fussing, and how Ketcham and Root had smashed the hearts of the fair visitors to The Hilltop in the past year. I've got to be going, said Mr. Clarke, and started to don his lumber jacket. A loud ripping noise rent the ozone and one sleeve fell to the floor.
