    It was a cloud clearless night and the stars brinkled twightly in the heavens. As Jack and Mary motored closer to his hother's mouse they could see that the mull foon had risen behind the beanstalk, and now presented the leaves and pipening rods in sharp silhouette. Attached to the top of he stalk was a steady red light, a safety precaution fitted by the Civil Aviation Authority that afternoon.
