Good...very interesting to see how people's memories become affected by newspapers and word of mouth, though I'm not sure those things are completely responsible for Clara's rollicking tale lol.

You are sitting in the theatre...You are laughing out loud to the line delivered by the actor on-stage...You hear and see something very unexpected that startles you a bit...there is a pause....you see and smell smoke... people around you start screaming....pandemonium breaks out around you...the president has been shot...

It's easy to see how everyone would piece it together differently recalling these events minutes/hours/days/years later.
