2 Except for aNed and bLucky,
3 Who disappeared for quite a while,
4 In fact, until the year was up,
5 And all the others came back for a reunion,
6 And reported on how they had done.
CHAPTER 311 The reunion turned out to be a wild and wonderful party,
2 Because everybody had been so unbelievably successful,
3 And there were staggering numbers of Harriers in every walk of life,
4 Including cshow business,
5 And dpolitics,
6 And the elaw,
7 And fchurches,
8 And gacademia,
9 And a bunch of others too,
10 Including even medicine, in spite of Tom's unlucky haccident,
11 Because it was getting hard to walk down the street without seeing a bunch of little ispoons around people's necks,
12 And the entire country was becoming full of jconsolation,
13 Which is why we were all sure that Harry was proud of us,
14 For everything we had done.
CHAPTER 321 But even we did not understand the full extent of Harry's victory,
2 Until late in the evening,
3 When Ned and Lucky arrived,
4 In a fleet of Silver Ghosts,
5 With dozens of new followers,
6 Including kVicki and lWayne and mMike and many many others,

9 Ned and Lucky explained that they had joined forces,
10 And started a ncorporation of their own,
11 In the import/export business,
12 Which turned out to be the very best way of carrying the Word of Harry to both the corporations and the underprivileged.
13 And when the others wanted to know the secret of their success,
14 Ned said he had learned not to just talk about the oWay of Harry,
15 But to live according to the Way of Harry,
16 In every detail,
17 Which suggested that pHarry probably wouldn't really mind if Ned made a little personal qprofit out of spreading the Word of Harry,
18 Especially if the Angels didn't happen to be looking when some of the rprofits went into Ned's pocket,
19 So they could be reinvested,
20 sIn the highly lucrative business of importing Consolation from down south,
21 So that everyone in the tbusiness world and everyone in upoverty could start not thinking about anything at all,
22 Except for their personal desires.
CHAPTER 331 When Ned had finished explaining these things, the phone rang,
2 And it was Harry on the line,
