тАЬSurety even Simon Pierce isn't a terrorist.тАЭ When he thought about it, though, George wondered if they
might not be in greater danger than he had realized.

Clark obviously shared his concern. тАЬThey've killed more than one witch, George.тАЭ

тАЬThe Gregorys?тАЭ It was supposed to have been an accident, the Gregory fire last winter. Al! four
members of the family had been killed in their home. Libby Gregory was high priestess of one of the town
covens.

George peered into the forest of wires that led to the isolation chamber where they had killed and
restarted the frog. His gaze traveled along the red leads to each electro-magnetic coil. He was looking for
a new wire snaking off to God knew what. тАЬI think it's okay.тАЭ

тАЬMaybe we'd better stand back, just in case. And warn Bonnie.тАЭ

тАЬLet's do more than that. Let's set the switches and then hit the generator from the other room. And open
all the windows.тАЭ

They went into the main control room. Beyond, in the menagerie, Bonnie could be seen cleaning cages.

тАЬHey, Bonnie, we're turning on the step-up transformer. Duck and cover, dearie.тАЭ

тАЬWhat's going on?тАЭ

тАЬLook at this. I say 'duck and cover' and the first thing you do is poke your nose out. What if we were
under attack? Do you realize that an atomic blast can vaporize you at four thousand feet? Unless you
duck and cover, in which case you burn more slowly,тАЭ

тАЬGeorge, you're so weird.тАЭ
тАЬWeird and wonderful, my little chickadee. If we live through this, let's go to bed together.тАЭ

тАЬDark, thrash that man.тАЭ

тАЬNow, Clark, don't deny an old man his pleasures.тАЭ

тАЬI'm not interested in Bonnie. I have other plans.тАЭ

Bonnie bristled at that. тАЬConstance going to marry you off to some pubescent pnestess, eh, so you can
mind the babies while your wife spends all night lathered with ointment balling the priests?тАЭ

тАЬYou could live on the Covenstead if you would accept its rule,тАЭ dark said gently. тАЬIt might do you a
great deal of good.тАЭ

тАЬI guess I'm too much of a rebel. Smelling all that health food when I go out there gives me an
overwhelming compulsion to eat about four Big Macs. I'm best off being a town witch where I don't have
to live by a rule.тАЭ

тАЬWe don't live by rules, Bonnie. We all agree on how we live.тАЭ
