cardigan and foxy jumped into his red ferrari and sped toward the museum.

"nice wheels," foxy observed.

cardigan nodded. "i give burkie full credit for that. he spares no expense no matter how far-fetched it may seem."

"like our being able to find parking in downtown san francisco?"

"exactly."

they parked in front of the museum and ran up the steps, dodging a mob of 4th graders. once inside, they followed the well-marked signs for the time machine. they stopped short when they entered the small room and saw the time machine behind a wall of glass.

"damn!"

"gavin, i have an idea. just follow my lead!"

foxy cupped her hands around her mouth and shouted, "ladies and gentlemen, traces of the welsh corgi flu virus have been detected in this wing of the museum. for the safety of you and your family, please exit to the west wing of the museum. thank you for your understanding."

after the last visitor had scampered out of the room, cardigan quickly closed and locked the door. "the welsh corgi flu?!"

foxy shrugged. "the fear of the unknown makes people so easy to manipulate."

"i'm glad you're on my team!" cardigan pulled a leather case from his pocket and extracted a glass cutter.

"i see you came prepared!" foxy watched as cardigan cut out a large rectangle, then tapped firmly on the glass to dislodge the makeshift door. he caught the edge before it fell and gently walked it over to the side. "let's go!"

they got into either side of the time machine and cardigan quickly set the date for 03-10-1876.

"gavin," foxy put her hand on his arm. "there's no way to specify a location."

"just close your eyes and concentrate on boston, massachussetts. burkie won't let details like that interfere with his story."

she moved her hand down to grasp his tightly, and closed her eyes. "okay, i'm ready."

cardigan turned a key and the machine began to whir and tremble. there was a flash of light and POOF!
