At ten o'clock in the morning, or whatever time it was, a Las Vegas-style show began.
Lights flooded the stage...
where four figures, draped in golden robes, assumed each of the four corners.
And then, from above...
a fifth golden figure descended, lowered to the stage by a golden length of rope.
His feet touched the stage, he let go of the rope, then let his robe fall from his shoulders.
It was Gideon Goldbody, of course.
Gideon Goldbody, nude and glittering gold except for a single cloth around his privates.
"Ladies and gentlemen," he said, indicating the window to his right. "We have arrived."
