Harry recruits some followers
Chapter 47
cShortly afterwards, Harry went into the front yard of an ancient American university,
2On the far side of the Charles River,
3dWhere multitudes of the Most Chosen Children of the world’s Most Chosen Nation were preparing to demolish the commercial establishments surrounding their campus,
4In protest against the emurders which had been committed in Indiana.
5Some among them recognized Harry,
6And reproached him, saying, f“We have heard of gyour way,
7“Which is not our way,
8“Because when we are hdone with our education in a week or two,
9“And have demolished all the commercial establishments in the entire city,
10“We shall become the leaders of the world’s Most Chosen Nation,
11“And have no need of you and your way,
12“Because we are ismart,
13“And will fix everything,
14j“For we already have all the answers.”
15But Harry just laughed at their impudence, saying, But surely you have nothing against coming with me in my kLearjet,
16Which is full of good things to eat and drink and inhale,
17As well as lwomen of great beauty and compliance,
18mAnd an itinerary that includes some of the world’s most desirable ports of call.
19Then the children were amazed and said, “Do you not wish to argue with us,
20“And change our minds,
21“And bend us to your will,
22“And make us follow your way?”
23Whereupon Harry replied to them, saying, I have room for neleven of you,
24And all of you are operfect just the way you are.
25pThen the children cast lots, and the eleven who went with Harry were named Willie, and Joe, and Sam, and Tom, and Mort, and Tony, and Ned, and Ira, and Jerry, and Fred, and Vinnie.
