Maybe there is one hanging in the broom closet, on a shelf down in the
basement, up in the attic? Yeah, if you can get out of the newsroom, 
check the attic. Toys in the attic!  I bet it stores a great many
trunks, cartons, nice dusty chairs, has hooks and hangers, carpets to
roll up in, all that a  puppet-persona could ever want. Ascending. Yes,
there they are. Come here my little ones. They sit, draped over arm
chairs. Or stand, their heads cocked, strings taught and loose. Every
face against a wall or forced into a corner of the room like humiliated
children.
