Exited Bar Quote by Joe Keenan
““Sorry! Can't!' said Gilbert. 'Massage,' he explained, then exited the bar, apparently via catapult. 'Philip?' Claire said. My first impulse was to follow Gilbert's lead by briskly dismounting the couch and diving through the Gilbert-shaped hole he'd left in the wall on departing.””
