"Else you wouldn't have it there.",“Wasn’t much after all your trouble to get down, was it?” said a voice behind him. Bob looked up to find that Jerry had appeared.,Suddenly he glanced around the room. “Isn’t there something here I can lift?”,"I'll return soon," Hinter promised. "Don't worry about anything.
