Everybody jumped.
At the concert’s conclusion, the populace retired to the fairgrounds where the local nine engaged the neighboring town in a lively game of baseball. Along about the fourth inning, the umpire stepped in front of home plate and raised his arms to call for silence.

Everybody jumped.

Everybody jumped.

Everybody slept.
