"You said that Professor Thunder's only original living skeelton broke out at Barnip.

"Drink ?" queried Nickie.

He got at a bar spread in the Shire hall at Barnip, an' afore they missed him he ate enough fer ten Shire Councillors.

He completely rooned that banquet.

That was the third time he'd gone on th' spree, an' ther Perfesser 'ad warned him if it 'appened again he'd get the shoot." Nickie the Kid grinned.
"It isn't a Profession that would suit me," he said.
