HERE IT IS, almost a month since the Super Flea Market which transformed Washington into a shoppers paradise on the Fourth of July, and still no response to our suggestion.
And time keeps ticking away — in the otherwise handsome Circuit Court chambers, it actually keeps whirring away. In a plastic case that seems to be shaped, vaguely, in the outline of a bottle cap. In the Court House! Among all that marvelous furniture?
It was our stated hope that someone might get carried away with the spirit of the Super Flea Market to spot a handsome old clock, possibly even one with a pendulum, to add more timekeeping dignity to the Court Room.
Alas. Flea Market time came and went, and still no clock.
AND WE STILL think it would be a worthy project for some individual or organization. Something which would accrue value for the entire county, as time goes on — as it were.
Meanwhile, we can imagine the involuntary wince that must come to every sensitive barrister and public official — not to mention member of the public — who has occasion to do business in the courtroom, and occasionally glance at the clock. □
