 Let's make a story. Add one sentence for each commit:
 
-Joe was wondering: will it blend?
+It was a dark and stormy night; the rain fell in torrents--except at
+occasional intervals, when it was checked by a violent gust of wind which
+swept up the streets (for it is in London that our scene lies), rattling along
+the housetops, and fiercely agitating the scanty flame of the lamps that
+struggled against the darkness.
