EXCERPT:

A newspaper once wrote about a burglar who, after entering a home and making his selections, would rearrange the furnishings to disguise the absences. If there were two candlesticks at opposite ends of the mantle, the robber would seize one and place the other at the center. Dishes left behind on the plate shelf would be evenly spaced to mask a swiped platter. The emptiness formerly occupied by a place setting nabbed from the silver drawer would be filled by the remaining utensils. In this way, the occupants were long to realize the thefts and, when they finally did, could never say for sure when they might have occurred. Had the lonely candlestick leapt to the middle of the mantle yesterday or had it been there for weeks? At what time the disappearances happened was impossible to pinpoint.

It was very much the same when people began to vanish in Ophir.
