"That is St. Charles in an early winter snow", I can hear Anthony say while he is looking inside the elevator where I would think the elevator cabin should have been.
How can he say something like that? And where is St. Charles, for heaven's sake?
"It is in Illinois, this St. Charles", Anthony says.
This mindreading has to stop.
The elevator door closes again.
BING!
"There goes our next halt."
"Llama, we have got to talk", I take the animal a little to the side.

"The Lady Came From Bromford"
Lady came from Bromford
All she wore was lace
Didn't know that I was poor
She never saw my place
I was there to steal the money
Take her rings and run
Then I fell in love with the lady
Got away with none
Lady's name was Susan Moore
Daddy was the law
Didn't know that I was poor
And lived outside the law
Daddy said I was a thief
Didn't have the love
But I was Susan's true belief
Married her for love
I was there to steal the money
Take her rings and run
Then I fell in love with the lady
Got away with none
Now she lived and built a wall
To keep the robbers out
Didn't care a thing at all
That's what I'm about
I was there to steal the money
Take her rings and run
Then I fell in love with the lady
Got away with none
Then I fell in love with the lady
Got away with none
