Another Christmas tale of Stiener Brashburg's Antique Shop 'Temptations'.
One Christmas, I was doing my usual search, at his shop, for unusual curios to give as presents.
Prominently displayed was a most splendid antique mirror - "How much for that wonderful artifact?, my good man" I inquired.
"Oh, I am afraid that is a moost unique item, Sir. I would have to ask £50 for it, really." replied Brashburg.
"Nonsense it is worth far more than that - I shall give you £100!" I replied, feeling full of beneficient Chrismas spirit.
"Oh thank you, Sir, that is most generous!"
As I have previously recounted, each purchase from Brashburg's comes with "a big novelty surprise". But for those who pay a fair price this surprise is generally good, so I had no qualms over my purchase.
On Christmas day I gave it to the Old Monkey and he was most pleased.
However, the trouble began when the Muncle suggested that, it being Christmas - a time when the spirits are supposed to walk abroad amongst their fellow men, we should hold a seance.
I knew that no good would come of this...as you will see.
