'A whole skeleton!' another added.

'Let's not get too carried away.'

'Is there,' Charlie72 said at last. 'Anything you wanted to say to me?'

One of the dwarves produced a trumpet from a small bag and started polishing it rigourously.

'Not "say", exactly...'

And as Charlie watched the dwarven band dance into the setting sun, something very like a tear came to his eye. Remorse?

Only science can tell.
