Artie was enjoying a brisk walk down his short cuts with Mortimer. He seemed to be in quite a cheerful mood.
Then, suddenly, he stopped and sniffed the air.
"
Mortimer! Do you
smell that? . . . In
deed, it
does smell a bit like a
dungbeetle mixed with
haggis! Oh, but it's a
foul wind that
blows over town! This could
only mean
one thing! . . .
No, not that we're
downwind from the
town dump! It means that my
arch-nemesis is
coming!
TEH EMOO. We must pre
pare!"
Mortimer just kind of buzzed in a confused fashion, but followed Artie as he continued down the short cut.
