On a clear day that is (she coughs a little on the morning smog. Then she brushes off flakes of asbestos and other toxic city grime.) My dress just is...’t as green as it used to be. And my arm sure aches from holding the flame. I’m down right tired of carrying the torch of liberty, and I’m sick of tourists and bird shit. I wish I could have a vacation. I wish, just for once, I could be a tourist. I’d go… Somewhere. Somewhere, over the ozone, song birds flap Birds don’t fry in the hot sun Out.

Julia responded. "No, Margaret Kreswell" Oh" Liz looked confused. "But I saw her yesterday."Julia spoke. She looked at them all and said "Margaret is Liz's double. The Bristol/Dublin Ferry sank yesterday. As far as we can make out there were no survivors."Liz choked back her tears. "What happened?"Julia looked glum, "We don't know.
