“You did. What?”
“I thought maybe, just maybe you know, that the boat model was borrowed for a model.”
“I don’t know what you mean.”
“You are not usually so stupid, Babby dear,” sighed Cara. “Can’t you see? It wouldn’t really be stealing if friend Nicky took the little boat for some one to copy, would it?”
“Cara!”
“Now, would it?”
“Not stealing,” said Babs slowly. “But who would want to copy it?”
“Stupid again. Whoever does the beautiful carving, of course.”
“Oh.” Babs fell into silence after that. She had not thought of such a possibility and it sort of staggered her.
“Copy the model?” she said finally.
