... bought by a private bidder at Sotheby's.

Well? Which one of the GN fraternity has money to burn?

Darn! I’ve been rumbled. I thought it would look good in the front room next to the occasional table. A good talking point.

It’s me. I’ve bought it for the hall, to hang coats and hats on. 🦖

Fallingstar outbid me at the last minute. I had just the place for it in my flat. Oh, bother!

Alas, wouldn’t have room for it, even if it was only a tenner.

I have a prehistoric tortoise, though - he’s called Spike O’Saurus. Here he is, on our poor parched grass.
