"All right!" "Yes, let her go!" "Shoot, Officer!"

"All in favor will say Aye!. . . Contrary. . . . It is a vote!. . . Is there . . . further business . . . meeting?" Sears' voice was only heard at intervals. "If not . . . adjourn . . . in order."

"Second it!"

"Moved and seconded that the meeting now adjourn," mumbled Sears. "All those. . . ."
