"IF THE STARS TWINKLED MORE THAN USUAL ON ANY GIVEN NIGHT, IT
MEANT THAT THE ANGELS IN HEAVEN WERE HAPPY AND WERE FLITTING
ACROSS THE FLOORS OF HEAVEN; AND SINCE STARS WERE MERELY
HOLES VENTILATING HEAVEN, THE TWINKLING CAME FROM THE ANGELS
FLITTING PAST THE HOLES THAT ADMITTED AIR INTO THE HOLY HOME
OF GOD."
