Do you know that every time you post, you not only get us closer to the **MONSTER** at the end of this thread, but you make **A TERRIBLE MESS!** (I have two copies of this book, which I used to read to my little sister with great theatrics) ---

Hey, what happened to the lights? This lightswitch doesn’t work. Neither does this lamp…well, Mary and I are gonna go down and make out by the old summer camp lake where we’ll be safe. Why don’t the rest of you split up, so that if you have to investigate any strange sounds you can do so on an individual basis. ---
