"Um—ah—yes," said Biscuits, "sounds something like Browning, doesn't it?"
Martha looked only politely interested.
"Do you think so?" she said impersonally.
"Yes. I like that line about the ships," added Biscuits, tentatively; "it—er—seems to—er—imply so much!"
Martha looked enigmatically at the skull. "Does it?" she asked.
Biscuits caught a glimpse of a long, hastily written story, and gasped.
"Why, Martha, did you really hand that in?" she demanded.
"Certainly I did," said Martha; "why not?"
"Because it's really shocking, you know," Biscuits replied. "What did she say?"
Martha hesitated, but a twinkle slipped into her eye and she smiled as she replied. "Look and see," she said.
