fireplace　or　the　tall　china　highboy　at　the　back　of　the　dining　room。

A　sense　of　injustice　and　a　feeling　of　angry　rebellion　suddenly　rose　in　him　and

（never　mind　what　im　not　supposed　to　touch；　just　never　mind。　touched　me；

hasnt　it？　played　with　me；　hasnt　it？）

It　had。　And　it　hadnt　been　particularly　careful　not　to　break　him；　either。

Danny　put　his　hands　out；　grasped　the　glass　dome；　and　lifted　it　aside。　He　let

one　finger　play　over　the　works　for　a　moment；　the　pad　of　his　index　finger　denting

against　the　cogs；　running　smoothly　over　the　wheels。　He　picked　up　the　silver　key。

For　an　adult　it　would　have　been　unfortably　small；　but　it　fitted　his　own

fingers　perfectly。　He　placed　it　in　the　keyhole　at　the　center　of　the　clockface。

It　went　firmly　home　with　a　tiny　click；　more　felt　than　heard。　It　wound　to　the

right；　of　course；　clockwise。

Danny　turned　the　key　until　it　would　turn　no　more　and　then　removed　it。　The

clock　began　to　tick。　Cogs　turned。　A　large　balance　wheel　rocked　back　and　forth　in

semicircles。　The　hands　were　moving。　If　you　kept　your　head　perfectly　motionless

and　your　eyes　wide　open；　you　could　see　the　minute　hand　inching　along　toward　its

meeting　some　forty…five　minutes　from　now　with　the　hour　hand。　At　XII。

（And　the　Red　Death　held　sway　over　all。）

He　frowned；　and　then　shook　the　thought　away。　It　was　a　thought　with　no　meaning

or　reference　for　him。

He　reached　his　index　finger　out　again　and　pushed　the　minute　band　up　to　the

hour；　curious　about　what　might　happen。　It　obviously　wasnt　a　cuckoo　clock；　but

that　steel　rail　had　to　have　some　purpose。

There　was　a　small；　ratcheting　series　of　clicks；　and　then　the　clock　began　to

tinkle　Strausss　〃Blue　Danube　Waltz。〃　A　punched　roll　of　cloth　no　more　than　two

inches　in　width　began　to　unwind。　A　small　series　of　brass　strikers　rose　and　fell。

From　behind　the　clockface　two　figures　glided　into　view　along　the　steel　track；

ballet　dancers；　on　the　left　a　girl　in　a　fluffy　skirt　and　white　stockings；　on　the

right　a　boy　in　a　black　leotard　and　ballet　slippers。　Their　hands　were　held　in

arches　over　their　beads。　They　came　together　in　the　middle；　in　front　of　VI。

Danny　espied　tiny　grooves　in　their　sides；　just　below　their　armpits。　The　axis

bar　slipped　into　these　grooves　and　he　heard　another　small　click。　The　cogs　at

either　end　of　the　bar　began　to　turn。　〃The　Blue　Danube〃　tinkled。　The　dancers

arms　came　down　around　each　other。　The　boy　flipped　the　girl　up　over　his　head　and

then　whirled　over　the　bar。　They　were　now　lying　prone；　the　boys　head　buried
