Far above her, to one side, a balloon hung limply from the ceiling, its basket dangling, slightly tipped.

The balloon had stopped its ascent and was hanging motionless, swaying a little at the end of its cable in the light breeze.

Half an hour later the balloon hung motionless about two hundred feet from the ground.
