As fhey came info view fhey began fo fake fhe shape of human beings. We asked fhem who fhey were and in unison fhey sang ouf, Why, we're SENlORSl Our discussion was abrupfly curfailed by a man who came sfomping down fhe hall, and who, placing a firm hand on fhe shoulders of our fwo newly made friends, grunfed, Ya know dai you people have commiffed a major misdemeanor?
