CHAPTER 361 When Harry had heard my my words, he laughed,
2 And said, Don't take on so, Willie.
3 Indeed, what you say may be true,
4 And I am aware that aNed and Lucky have done some good work in Philadelphia, in addition to the good work they have done elsewhere,
5 bBut I desire Philadelphia to be the ultimate shining capital of my Way,
6 And what you have said about the City of Brotherly Love could be said also of other cities,
7 Including cNew York,
8 And dChicago,
9 And Detroit,
10 And Cleveland,
11 And eWashington, D.C.,
12 Not to mention my west coast capital, the fCity of Angels.
13 Truly, I am not displeased with you,
14 But I would ask for more,
15 And I shall leave some Angels with you to see that you do it.
CHAPTER 371 And then I, Willie, asked my brethren to help me,
2 gSince they had had so much practice in carrying the Word of Harry to so many peoples and places,
3 But they merely laughed at me, saying,
4 "Philadelphia?
5 h"You've got to be kidding."

10 Which brought a strange new light to the eyes of the eleven,
11 And made them promise to help me,
12 As long as they didn't actually have to stay in Philadelphia,
13 Which is why they agreed to write letters instead,
14 jOr have them written, anyway,
15 To a whole bunch of Philadelphia kneighborhoods,
16 So that the Word of Harry might be spread further,
17 Without any of the Ultra-Harriers actually having to go there.
CHAPTER 381 All was then done as we had agreed,
2 And the Ultra-Harriers and their lnew followers gave Harry a little more time in exchange for a huge bonus,
3 mAnd they wrote a bunch of letters and other communiqués,
4 nAnd the seat of the Pontifical Harrier Parish was established in Philadelphia,
5 oAnd the parish organization grew so big that it needed a lot of fancy new ranks and titles,
6 Including the pNumber One spot, which Ned held for a while,
7 qAnd Arch-Harriers, who got big salaries and a percentage of the profits,
