And running, sweating, trampling one another, falling down, getting up,
they headed toward the center of the town; and when they got there and saw her, the flies on their trousers flew open immediately, like a miracle; and their eyes were barely kept in control by the attached optical nerves; and their hands seemed to turn into magnets.
