23 Which can come in especially handy if one is about to ride in a great procession,
24 On a bright day,
25 In a snow-white convertible.
CHAPTER 251 And truly, within a matter of minutes, the followers of Harry found themselves envying his sunglasses,
2 aAs a dozen white convertible Cadillacs,
3 Costing tens of thousands of dollars,
4 Each,
5 Pulled up to the ramp of Harry's Learjet and opened their doors.
6 When the followers asked Harry how he had known about the white convertibles,
7 He chuckled and said to them, If a man decides to go home again,
8 Or to any place where there may be people who remember him,
9 bHe is a fool,
10 Unless he is certain of what he will find there.
11 Now quit asking so many questions,
12 And just enjoy the parade,
13 Without thinking about it at all.
CHAPTER 261 Then the followers did as Harry suggested,
2 And they thought no more about it,
3 At all,
4 But waved to the hundreds of people who lined the streets of Philadelphia to greet Harry,

5 cAnd accepted their many gifts of pretzels and beer,
6 dAnd other things,
7 Until the day seemed very bright indeed,
8 And Harry conceived a great desire to see an ancient Philadelphia landmark,
9 Which he expressed in a loud voice, saying, Take us to the eLiberty Bell,
10 Whereupon his driver turned to him and said, "What is that?"
11 At this, Harry laughed out loud and proclaimed, Truly, I am delighted to find that my Way has preceded me to Philadelphia,
12 fFor those who forget their history are free as the birds of this great city,
13 Which relieve themselves on the heads of statues without the slightest sense of guilt or fear,
14 Because they do not think about it at all.
15 Let us then follow the way of the birds,
16 And take the next right,
17 Which shall lead us, by and by, to the gLiberty Bell.
CHAPTER 271 And all was done as Harry requested,
2 And they took the next right,
3 And drove for many blocks,
4 hStill consuming great quantities of pretzels and beer,
5 Until they came to the iLiberty Bell,
6 Where Harry demonstrated the way of the jbirds,
7 kAs did his followers,
8 And many cheering Philadelphians,
