[from proposed Annotated Contents, Masquerading at Shower-Lourdes ]
Chapter the Sixth, in which, according to Jesus, the State of the Planet was
not good,
war and famine and
genocide
needed to be ended, for which tremendous human effort would be required, and while people should continue to
trust in
God, they must also take responsibility for their own actions and the effect they have on others — for
example,
the
Loracs' neighbors, the Smidleys, ought to build a covered caddy for their garbage cans; and in which, following
the
address, the Heroine, disguised as Mr. Goldberg, having choked down several fatty, salty bites of Spam and
rudely tossed
the can for the sake of her character's idiosyncratic verisimilitude (and pan-religious resistance to
stereotyping),
discreetly requests an audience with the Loracs but is turned down, then briefly considers setting out the
treasured
mechanical pig and offering to demonstrate its talents in exchange for an exclusive interview (at which point
the
Heroine indulges in a vision of people stepping back in horror and amazement as Rosellini's automaton waddles
across the
yard, head-butts and knocks down a pink flamingo, leisurely masticates some scrub grass, climbs three steps,
then
defecates on the Loracs' front stoop), before a threatening shadowy figure appears on the edge of the multitude.
