Excerpt from A Perfect Lady: A Novelization of the Channing Pollock-Rennold Wolf Play

He trots in quietly, and mysteriously the bridge begins to quiver. The shaking grows as he trots on, till in the middle the movement is measured by inches, until, they say, the beams begin to groan, and the great pins to stir in their holes with sounds like distant revolver shots, and clay nest-shards fall from overhead, and the swallows fly out in fluttering fear.

But he must keep to the time of his trot. If he breaks into a lope or stops to scratch, the spell is broken, and the old bridge settles itself to its former habit of silent struggle.

This is the story of how a certain priestess of the great goddess Rhythm came to Sycamore Junction and set things stirring there.
