204 [65] Jasper White believes in ancient myths. Motorists always park their cars outside his gate so he has put No Parking signs, but they have not paid any attention to them. Now he has put an ugly stone head over his gate. It is Medusa the Gorgon's. He wants her to turn motorists to stone, but she has not yet done so.
(=..., but she hasn't done so yet.)
