Book of Scarborians VIII

When Mary found Ty

trying to conceal themself

she asked a question,

"Does any piece catch your eye?"

Ty replied, "I'm not a thief."

She smiled, "I got that,

but it looks like you're running

away from something."

When the authorities left,

Rose and Sage entered the tent.

Mary said to Rose,

"Who knew our first customer

would try to rob us?"

Rose said, "You should thank these two

for rescuing your painting."

Sage asked, "You made this?"

Mary replied, "I sure did.

It’s not very good."

The painting showed a wet shirt

draped on the edge of a well.
