Before they die, Winifred (the oldest of the sisters) casts a spell stating they will return when a virgin lights a black candle in their house. In the present day, 1993, a newcomer from Los Angeles, California, Max, is bullied at school by two bullies, and has a crush on his schoolmate Allison. On Halloween night, his parents force him to go trick-or-treating with his sister Dani while they go to a party. Max and Dani stumbles upon the house of Allison and decide to go to the house of the Sanderson sisters. While at the house, Max lights a black candle and brings back Winifred, along with her sisters Sarah and Mary Sanderson.

Hocus Pocus: The Sanderson Sisters' Cottage announced!

On the other hand, I'm not crazy about the print-quality of light-on-dark of recent years either, and I want TLG to do better.Do better, TLG. I don't care about Hocus Pocus, but that's a very nice mill cottage build. It's a bit on the pricey side considering I got Medieval Blacksmith for less than half that price, but I'll keep an eye out for discounts. I remember when this came out; didn't care for it then and I forgot all about it until today. Now they're going back to the well what, 30 years later?

Bags 6-9: Second floor and hinged wall

Looking at the box, this set seems chock full of details aimed at fans, and also looks to incorporate some fun building techniques. Since this set is aimed at the adult builder who also happens to be a fan of the movie, it will be interesting to see if it strikes the balance of engagement for more mature builders, as well as including fan-focused play features. We build our first witch in Bag 5 — Mary Sanderson has entered the model! We also add more walls and Winifred Sanderson’s iconic spell book held in its display stand. I would have preferred the spell book’s cover be a printed piece, but it is a sticker instead, which is a consistent theme throughout the set. The rest of the right wall is constructed, with a large archway in the middle.

Build Process

The waterwheel attaches to the house using a technic axel, which connects to part 2854 crankshaft connector. A series of more technic axels drives the crankshaft connector up and down, which turns the waterwheel. This is a fun way to incorporate movement into the model, though I am curious how this will incorporate into the rest of the model. The movie Hocus Pocus has been a cult classic for decades.

It’s an easy way to display and appreciate these minifigurses, as well as use this section as part of the build. Most notably, Dani’s witches hat which has hair fused to it is spectacular, and such a great option for those looking for an upgrade Witch’s hat for minifigure Halloween outfits. Here’s a look at the side characters, Allison Watts, Max and Dani Dennison. They’re also equally as detailed, and I really like their outfits, which are really contemporary, although Dani Dennison’s witch costume completely steals the show. I've never seen the movie but it looks like someone at LEGO thinks it is 'iconic'. Couldn’t care less about Hocus Pocus or a Sanderson Sister but the house is good.

The trio must figure out how to stop the child-hungry witches from wreaking havoc on the world. Halloween is right around the corner, and you know what that means — it’s time to watch the 1993 Disney classic Hocus Pocus again!

Strange being released in July as Halloween is months away, but a good Halloween set. Great parts pack - I imagine cool stuff like the grey skull, witch's hat and perhaps even the candle popping up in other sets as well, so fingers crossed for that. I've never seen the movie, but at least the Ideas submission looked interesting.

The LEGO System in Play, with its foundation in LEGO bricks, allows children and fans to build and rebuild anything they can imagine. In real life, the building was formerly Phillips Elementary School on South Washington Square in Salem. It was no longer being used at the time of filming, so it was easy for them to shoot scenes there. If you’re a fan of Hocus Pocus, Hocus Pocus The Sanderson Sisters’ Cottage is everything you could want in a set that pays homage to your favourite cult-classic Halloween movie. Here’s a look at the decorative stickers on the outside of the book, as well as on the inside which has a spell that turns Thackery Binx into a black cat.

This set, designed for the 18-and-up crowd, is a display piece meant to be shown off rather than played with. It’s bigger than it might look in pictures, and it comes with a stand and placard, plus a Captain America minifigure. About the LEGO Group  The LEGO Group’s mission is to inspire and develop the builders of tomorrow through the power of play.

There’s also an Easter Egg with the fan designer’s name and birthday on one of the graves. With the minifigures and these iconic characters being a huge draw of the set, the designers have also come up with this fence/gate section which also double as a display stand for all the minifigures. Like most licensed sets, the minifigures are the heart and soul of the LEGO Hocus Pocus set. 6 minifigures are included (sadly no Billy!), and include Max and Dani Dennison, Allison Watts, and the Sanderson sisters – Sarah, Winnifred, and Mary Sanderson in their witchy best. I don't like how the outside of the building looks at all. But then again I might have been spoiled by the excellent blacksmith set.

Reiterating the conclusion of my personal bias, Monster Fighters would be better to me but kudos to the fan designer for the effort and success. Set looks like it’ll be popular as a parts pack for Medieval or Harry Potter MOCers. I like that it has dollhouse-style construction like the Old Fishing Store.I still wonder how many actual fans of the film will end up buying this. It’s a pretty expensive item for what is basically a cult movie.

I just learned from a reader named Ryan that the interior of Allison’s house wasn’t a set after all. They filmed inside what is known as “The Crank House” in Altadena, California. It is bound in human skin and contains the recipes for her most powerful and evil spells,” Allison reads on the display in the museum.

After causing havoc in the town, she runs with sister Sarah and Mary to a forbidden forest. There, they meet the Witch Mother and gives Winifred a magic spell book. In the present day, 29 years after the events of the first film, in 2022, an aspirant witch named Becca is celebrating her 16th birthday with her friend Izzy. When the owner of a magic store named Gilbert gives a magic black candle to Becca for her birthday, she goes to the forest with Izzy along with their other friend Cassie and they summon the Sanderson sisters.

In Bag 4 we assemble and add the stairs to the upstairs. These are constructed using a similar clip-and-bar method and are also easy to bump out of place. I found this frustrating, as they kept moving when I was trying to attach the stairs.

Only a year after his Heisman win, OJ was selected as the first pick in the first round of the 1969 NFL Draft by the Buffalo Bills, where he played from 69 to 77. He would later be traded to the San Francisco 49ers in 1978, where he played with the team for two seasons before his retirement from the NFL in 1979 and go on to pursue a career in acting. About two months after their dash to Las Vegas, the Stahls decided to drive up to this mystery spot and have a look around.

The Definitive Voice of Entertainment News

U.S. Secret Service chief of communications Anthony Guglielmi said in a statement that “attendees can expect layered security and screening at the dinner,” adding that there would be “intermittent” road closures near the venue. While the dinner, a tradition dating back 100 years, played out inside the ballroom, hundreds of protesters mobilized outside the venue to call for a cease-fire and criticize Biden's response to the Israel-Hamas war in Gaza. Celebrities who went to Saturday's event included Scarlett Johansson, who is married to Jost, as well as Rachel Brosnahan and Quavo.

The number of arrests at campuses nationwide is approaching 1,000. The protests have even spread to Europe, with French police removing dozens of students from the Sorbonne university after pro-Palestinian protesters occupied the main courtyard. The demonstrations have led Columbia to hold remote classes and set a series of deadlines for protesters to leave the encampment, which they have missed. The school said in an email to students that bringing back police “at this time” would be counterproductive.

In the letter to student protesters at Columbia, school officials noted that exams are beginning and graduation is upcoming. Near George Washington University, protesters at an encampment breached and dismantled the barriers Monday morning used to secure University Yard, the university said in a statement. Despite all that investigators found, OJ Simpson’s 8-day murder trial ended in his acquittal. Lawyer and friend, Robert Kardashian (yes, Kim K’s dad), years later stated in an interview that the blood evidence against OJ did still make him question OJ’s innocence.

Yale said in a statement Monday that while it supports peaceful protests and freedom of speech, it does not tolerate policy violations such as the encampment. School officials said that the protest is near residential colleges where many students are studying for final exams, and that permission must be granted for groups to hold events and put up structures on campus. During his school years, OJ Simpson played for the USC Trojans of the University of Southern California, where he won a Heisman Trophy in 1968.

OJ was ordered to pay $33.5 million in damages to the families, a judgment that was renewed in court again in 2015 and went on to be extended through to 2025. Nicole, age 34, was found sprawled at the bottom of the stairs to her condominium with 12 stab wounds to the head and neck and her throat had been severely cut. Goldman was located not far from Nicole, lying in the bushes nearby having sustained 25 stab wounds during his brutal murder. The evening of June 12, 1994, started out like any other night for Nicole. Both she and her ex-husband, OJ Simpson, had attended their daughter’s dance recital. According to property records, the building was last sold for $1.7 million in 2006.

Six protesters were quickly arrested and others were taken into custody one by one. Photos of Charles, Camilla, and the Queen's desks on the other hand offered more of a window into their personalities. If we're being honest, not too much can be discerned from these photos, but you can see a beige wall and a wooden cabinet, perhaps indicating a clean, neutral aesthetic.

The president has had to contend with protesters demonstrating outside of his official events, with protesters sometimes interrupting his speeches. In response, Biden's team has worked to make the president's events smaller and has withheld their exact locations longer than usual in hopes of cutting back on potential interruptions. Mahmoud Khalil, the lead negotiator on behalf of protesters, said university representatives began passing out the notices at the encampment shortly after 10 a.m. A spokesperson for Columbia confirmed the letter had gone out to students but declined to comment further. College classes are wrapping up for the semester, and campuses are preparing for graduation ceremonies, giving schools an extra incentive to clear encampments.

For generations of pilgrims, gawkers, architecture students, and midcentury-modern aficionados, it would be known simply as the Stahl House. In March 1954, Clarence “Buck” Stahl and Carlotta May Gates drove from Los Angeles to Las Vegas and got married in a chapel. They each worked in aviation (Buck in sales, Carlotta as a receptionist), had previous marriages, and were strapping, tall, and extremely good looking—California Apollonians out of central casting. Back home in L.A., as the newlyweds pondered their future, they became preoccupied with a promontory of land jutting out like the prow of a ship from Woods Drive in the Hollywood Hills, about 125 feet above Sunset Boulevard. It was as conspicuous as it was forbidding, visible from the couple’s house on nearby Hillside Avenue.

In another shot, viewers are given a glimpse at the Simpson’s living room, which spanned the entirety of the home and offered plenty of space for visiting family and guests. There was also a guest house on the property that was used by Simpson family friend, Kato Kaelin, at the time of the murders. After the dinner concluded, two protesters holding a sign saying “Stop Israel's genocide” entered the hotel's red carpet area as guests were departing. A class-action lawsuit on behalf of Jewish students alleges a breach of contract by Columbia, claiming the university failed to maintain a safe learning environment, despite policies and promises. It also challenges the move away from in-person classes and seeks quick court action requiring Columbia to provide security for the students.

Signs that something had gone terribly wrong started with Brown Simpson’s neighbors spotting her Akita dog wandering the neighborhood with blood on his paws. Upon further investigation, the bodies of Brown and Goldman were found outside Nicole’s Brentwood home, where her children still slept peacefully inside. The home was built in 1991 and Nicole’s townhouse was 4-bedrooms, 4-bathrooms spanning 3,405 square feet.

Designed by LA architect William King and built in 1982, the listing comes with several gathering spaces in and around the home, with charming gardens, a wraparound deck and a garage that could be used as studio space. The home at 2538 Sundown Drive is for sale at $2.3 million, listed by Compass agents Carl Gambino and Ariel Putman, and was recently shared on real estate fan account Zillow Gone Wild. Exterior of a suburban home with blue siding, a white front porch, and white shutters. Demonstrators on other campuses, meanwhile, said they would stand firm. Jacob Ginn, a second-year University of North Carolina sociology graduate student, said he had been protesting at the encampment for four days, including negotiations with administrators Friday. Meanwhile, a legal group representing pro-Palestinian students is urging the U.S.

The plight of students who have been arrested has become a central part of protests, with the students and a growing number of faculty demanding amnesty for protesters. At issue is whether the suspensions and legal records will follow students through their adult lives. Republican Gov. Greg Abbott on social media reposted video of troopers arriving on the 50,000-student campus.

Despite his initial acquittal for the murders of Nicole and Ron, OJ Simpson would later be found liable for the wrongful deaths of both persons in the civil court case filed against the former footballer by the victims’ families. The gory scene is nothing short of brutal and nearly inhuman, with Nicole lying in the fetal position covered surrounded by her own blood, and Ron crumbled in a pile on the ground nearby covered in stab wounds. The crime scene photos of Nicole Brown and Ronald Goldman are available online for those with a strong enough stomach to view them.

During their time at the restaurant, Nicole’s mother forgot her glasses, to which Goldman volunteered to bring to Nicole’s house later that evening. At the time, Goldman would have had no clue of the horrors that awaited him at Nicole’s house that night. If you were around in the early 90s, you likely saw the very publicized trial for the murders of Nicole Brown Simpson and Ron Goldman on pretty much every major news network and court channel of the time. Sometimes referred to as the OJ Simpson murder house, this quiet little townhouse on Bundy Drive in Los Angeles California holds a gruesome past. This was the site where the butchered bodies of Nicole Brown and her friend, Ron Goldman, were found on June 12, 1994. While there are no interior photos available, we can see here that the new home is an even grander, more up-to-date estate boasting Mediterranean design as well as a tennis court and new guest house.

Gershkovich’s parents and Tice’s mother were among the approximately 2,600 guests at the dinner, an estimate provided by NBC News political correspondent Steve Kornacki in a video that played at the event.

Protesters at Yale set up a new camp with dozens of tents Sunday afternoon, nearly a week after police arrested nearly 50 and cleared a similar one nearby. Early protests at Columbia, where demonstrators set up tents in the center of the campus, sparked pro-Palestinian demonstrations across the country. Students and others have been sparring over the Israel-Hamas war and its mounting death toll. Many students are demanding their universities cut financial ties with Israel.

Department of Education's civil rights office to investigate Columbia's compliance with the Civil Rights Act of 1964 for how they have been treated. Under the terms spelled out in the letter, students who leave the encampment would be put on disciplinary probation through June 2025. Students who are already receiving discipline, or who face harassment or discrimination charges for actions in the encampment, are not eligible for the offer. “We urge you to remove the encampment so that we do not deprive your fellow students, their families and friends of this momentous occasion,” the letter said. Protesters who returned to the University of Texas at Austin on Monday were quickly greeted by dozens of law enforcement officers, many in riot gear.

When it was initially searched shortly after the crime, police found blood spatter on this back walkway (pictured below), but OJ dismissed this by claiming no one could climb the fence. The president called on Russian President Vladimir Putin to release Gershkovich immediately, adding that the White House was also doing everything it could to bring home freelance journalist Austin Tice and businessman Paul Whelan. Putman said the architect does not design much anymore, but she believes this is one of his greatest homes. He paid $40 million in an all-cash deal for a 6,000-square-foot beachfront home in an exclusive Malibu area known as "Billionaire's Beach," The Real Deal reported in January 2023.

No officials appeared to enter the encampment, with at least 120 tents staying up as the deadline passed. Charles and Camilla's offices at Birhall are covered in books and family photos, while the Queen keeps multiple corgi figurines perched atop her desk. But Harry isn't the only royal showing off his at-home workspace these days. Willam and Kate recently shared photos off their offices at Kensington Palace, which revealed William's rather large printer and Kate's collection of classic literature. The Duke of Sussex offered a rare look inside his house (well, a corner of his house) on a video call this week. In addition to his children with Whitley, OJ also fathered 2 children with his ex-wife, Nicole Brown – Sydney Brook Simpson (born 1985) and Justin Ryan Simpson (born 1988).

OJ employed the help of what media outlets were calling the “dream team” of lawyers for the trial, including F. Lee Bailey, Robert Blasier, Robert Shapiro, Shawn Chapman Holley, Alan Dershowitz, Robert Kardashian, and Johnnie Cochran. OJ Simpson initially agreed to turn himself in to police but would end up trying to flee on June 17, taking officers on a low-speed chase while driving his white Ford Bronco.

In the righthand corner of the screen you can all see what looks like a small white appliance, but it's difficult to tell exactly what it is. "We look forward to launching Archewell when the time is right," the royal couple said in a recent statement, noting that their "focus is on supporting efforts to tackle the global Covid-19 pandemic." The annual White House Correspondents’ Dinner will bring together celebrities, journalists covering the political beat, and the President of the United States on a night to celebrate the First Amendment.

Plus, it has a great view of the city, she said, making it the ultimate LA outdoor space.

How far is Holland House Beach Hotel from the centre of Philipsburg?

This is a great day for a relaxing vacation. Superb location right in the heart of Philipsburg, easy for us to get around and catch a bus anywhere on Back Street. I would recommend this hotel and wish we could stay longer. However, our room didnt have self-catering facilities which would have made our stay even more perfect.

Experience a villa like no other in a city like no other. Blu Santa Monica is a truly original three-bedroom residence nestled right up against the white sands of Santa Monica Beach. It was wonderful to be served a hot breakfast, instead of the usual buffet. The food was very good, and the servers friendly and helpful. Everyone who works there was friendly and helpful. When we asked for an extra blanket, they brought one that had been heated up in the dryer!

All rooms have been refurbished and redesigned by renowned architect Johannes Zingerlee and French Indies Design from St. Barths, bringing a European chic and Caribbean flair. When you imagine driving along the PCH and the dream homes you see along the way, you probably picture a place like Corral Canyon Beach. Floor-to-ceiling windows promise uninterrupted beach views, and the wraparound terrace beckons you from morning coffee through to moonlight drinks. Sleek modernity dominates the home decor with just a hint of opulence, but as you’d expect from the Malibu beach home of your dreams it’s the ocean view that takes center stage. Breakfast was very good and included in price and consisted of good variety of menu options. Location was perfect for access to cruise port.

On October 24, 2007, IHG announced a worldwide relaunch of the Holiday Inn brand, which spelled trouble for the remaining motels. The relaunch was "focused on delivering consistently best in class service and physical quality levels, including a redesigned welcome experience [and] signature bedding and bathroom products". The first relaunched Holiday Inn opened in the U.S. in spring 2008. Currently there are more than 2,500 relaunched Holiday Inn brand hotels around the world, and the Holiday Inn global brand relaunch process was completed by the end of 2010.[19] By then, the majority of the HI motels were removed from the chain, with a few exceptions. Today, fewer than 10 original Holiday Inn motels still operate, others having been replaced by newer Holiday Inn Express locations or having switched to other chains.

After Esther refuses her son for the last time, Mrs. Guppy refuses to leave Jarndyce’s house, indignantly inquiring, “Ain’t my son good enough for you? One of the victims of Chancery, along with Tom Jarndyce, Gridley, and Richard Carstone, Miss Flite has been driven to madness by her obsession with the court. Appropriately she lives in the house of Krook, the symbolic counter to the Lord Chancellor, her name associating her with the caged birds who catalog the social ills caused by the court. Sir Leicester’s cousin, a proud and poor spinster, “a young lady (of sixty) . Retired to Bath; where she lives slenderly on an annual present from Sir Leicester, and whence she makes occasional resurrections in the country houses of her cousins” (28). After Lady Dedlock’s death, she becomes mistress of Chesney Wold.

She is considered a cold, haughty woman, but there is a rumor that she is not of noble birth and that Sir Leicester married her despite this. Her husband’s lawyer, Mr. Tulkinghorn, arrives and reads to them from some legal documents. Midway through, Lady Dedlock turns pale and asks who wrote the paper.

Jellyby, Mr.

Tulkinghorn subsequently reveals to Lady Dedlock that he has learned her secret but promises not to tell Sir Leicester without notice. Later, a furious Hortense confronts Tulkinghorn for not having gotten her a job, and she offers to help him bring Lady Dedlock down, but he dismisses her. Meanwhile, Esther tells Jarndyce the story of her parentage. Not long after, Jarndyce proposes marriage to Esther, and she accepts.

Jarndyce and Jarndyce

“A little mad old woman in a squeezed bonnet” (3) who is obsessed by the Court of Chancery, even though her family has been ruined by it. She believes that a judgment in her case is imminent, a conclusion she confuses with the Last Judgment, describing both events in apocalyptic terms. She befriends Ada, Richard, and Esther (whom she calls Fitz-Jarndyce) and invites them to her lodgings on the top floor of Krook’s house (5). When the Jarndyce case is settled, she sets the birds free (65). Bucket’s wife, “a lady of natural detective genius” (53). She keeps tabs on Hortense when the French maid is under suspicion and living as a lodger in the Bucket household.

The keeper of monsters wants to rejuvenate the often sullied name of horror, and show the people the beauty of the things that go bump in the night. Dickens was still a child when first exposed to tales of man-eating men, the professor said. One story involved a man who marries a series of young women, then prepares them as meat pies. In another bedtime story, “Chips and the Devil,” young Chips sells his soul to the devil, who takes the form of a rat.

The professor said these men symbolize how the adult world can terrify a child. “It’s academia par excellence, but it’s also sensational,” said Stone, 62. “If I were talking about Dickens’ view of Parliament, you’d be bored to death.

(55) When Mrs. Bagnet finds George’s mother, she turns out to be Mrs. Rouncewell. George has been estranged from his family ever since he ran away from home as a young man. When Mrs. Rouncewell reveals herself to her son, George falls on his knees, asks her forgiveness, and says he is innocent. She asks Lady Dedlock to do anything she can for her son.

Boythorn, Lawrence

(5) The next morning Esther, Ada, and Richard again meet the little madwoman, Miss Flite. She takes them to her room on the top floor of Krook’s Rag and Bottle Warehouse, where she shows them the caged birds, with names like Youth, Hope, and Beauty, that she plans to set free when the court decides her case. Although he cannot read, he spells out letter by letter J-a-r-n-dy-c-e and B-l-e-a-k H-o-u-s-e, words he has learned from his documents.

However, despite the fact that a Bleak House inquest “proved” that people can spontaneously combust, this idea is not taken seriously today. On the eastern borders of Chancery Lane, that is to say, more particularly in Cook's Court, Cursitor Street, Mr Snagsby, law-stationer, pursues his lawful calling. Charles Dickens sparked controversy in Bleak House when he has rag and bone dealer Krook die by spontaneous human combustion, a phenomenon where the human body catches fire as a result of heat generated by internal chemical action. Although scientists have denied the existence of this phenomenon, supposed cases of spontaneous human combustion are still reported today. The Court of Chancery was founded during the reign of Richard II and in Dickens' time was a model of inefficiency.

He has switched jobs three times and has been unable to settle on anything. Esther is concerned to learn that he has taken a lawyer, a man named Mr. Vholes, and that he has given up on work and intends to pour all his energy into solving the case. He has also turned against Mr. Jarndyce, who has tried to dissuade him from having anything to do with Jarndyce and Jarndyce.

Richard and Ada secretly marry and Richard spends all her money on legal expense. Esther now falls ill, apparently from the smallpox, and the illness leaves her permanently disfigured, and is cared for by Charley, a poor girl that she had saved from poverty and from whom she had probably contracted the disease. In a revealing conversation, Lady Dedlock confesses to Esther that she is her mother, but warns her, however, to keep this secret.

He shows them their rooms in the irregular house and surprises Esther by giving her the household keys. They also meet a guest in the house, Harold Skimpole, an artist, composer, and doctor who does not work and claims to have no understanding of money. He sponges from Jarndyce and prevails on Esther and Richard to pay a debt to keep him from being arrested. When Jarndyce finds out that they have given him money, he makes them promise never to do so again. One night, several weeks after this, Mr. Tulkinghorn suggests to Lady Dedlock that he knows her secret, and Lady Dedlock angrily confronts him and gives herself away. Mr. Tulkinghorn triumphantly explains that he has proof that she was Captain Hawdon’s lover when she was young.

The plot of the story is set amid the uncompromising slowness and the Byzantine character of the law and the Court of Justice (Chancery). It has been argued that the novel helped bring about reforms in the legal system. Bleak House was the ninth novel published by Charles Dickens, appearing in serialized form in twenty instalments between March 1852 and September 1853. Critics generally agree that this is one of the Dickens' most remarkable novels and his most complete. Bleak House contains a gallery of characters and a series of subplots unparalleled in the rest of his work.

Present owner of Bleak House and court-appointed guardian to Richard Carstone and Ada Clare, an “upright, hearty and robust” man, “nearer sixty than fifty,” who has “a handsome, lively, quick face” (6). Although he recognizes the destructiveness of the court, he is not so clear-sighted about the shortcomings of those he helps, especially Harold Skimpole. He is unsuccessful in preventing Richard’s entanglement in the case.

The novel also has the odd distinction of being perhaps the only work of classic literature featuring a character who dies by spontaneous combustion. Hortense and Tulkinghorn have now discovered Lady Dedlock's past. After a quiet but desperate confrontation with the lawyer, Lady Dedlock flees the house and leaves a letter to her husband, begging forgiveness. Feeling abandoned by both Tulkington and Lady Dedlock, Hortense kills Tulkington and attempts to place the blame on Lady Dedlock.

There he tells her the little he knows of her personal history. Meanwhile, Allan Woodcourt, a physician devoted to his profession, announces that he is going to the East as a medical man. Caddy brings Esther some flowers that Woodcourt left at Miss Flite’s.
