Oh, the joy! The absolute joy! Archie couldn't remember a recent moment when he had felt so happy. If he could sing, he would have sung. If he could dance, he would have danced. If he could haveshouted to the world, he would have shouted to the world, "I'm free, I'm free!"

Él había estado en "la cárcel" para la semana pasada. Una cárcel mental, sin duda alguna pero ello todavía parecía a la cárcel. Hace aproximadamente seis semanas, él habíarecibido su emplazamiento de jurado casi anual. Imprimido sobre el exterior del sobre blanco, en cartas rojas vivo, era: El JURADO OFICIAL EMPLAZAR EL REGISTRO INCLUIDO Requerido dentro de 5 días. Un...
