THE
EXPLOITS
OF THE ULTRA-HARRIERS
Willie retires to the country
Chapter 39
And so I, Willie, had to sell my Silver Ghost in order to buy stock,
2Which turned out all right, I suppose,
3iSince I also made out unexpectedly well on a little mail-order plan jTony and I dreamed up,
4So that I wound up having enough to buy a little estate in the country,
5And retired from active involvement with the Pontifical Harrier Parish,
6kAs much as any Ultra-Harrier can, anyway.
7And eventually, a few years later, the Angels who had been staying with me were called out on a special mission one day,
8Along with all the other Angels in the greater Philadelphia metropolitan area,
9lAnd they never came back,
10Which I didn’t ask any questions about,
11mBecause I had finally learned to live according to the Way of Harry myself.
12But I did follow the careers of the surviving members of the original eleven,
13And the careers of some of the followers they had recruited,
14Which were fabulous indeed,
15And a great monument to the Way of Harry,
16Not to mention a splendid example to all Harriers everywhere,
17With a couple of exceptions,
18But there are always exceptions,
19As everyone knows.
