The scarabs. The scarabs, effendi! They eat the reeds, they eat the bread, last week they ate the Archive's index of the Third Lake King's laundry lists. Irreplaceable! Fifteen of the big ones, the ones the old kings bred to tidy the dead. And bring me their shells; I sell them as bowls.
While in progress
Strike under the shell. Or over the shell. Not on the shell. On the shell is how I broke my good spear.
On completion
Fifteen! And such shells. I will make a soup tureen. I will make two. Here, a charm my grandmother made against beetles. It did not work on beetles, but it is very good against everything else.
