#155 The Ladder of Fire
He had noted the
nesting order—how
the paper fit in-
side the bell of the
tuba & it, in turn,
rested on the chair—
so that, once this fire
was over, they could
be neatly stored until
the next time he
had need of them.
Yes, this one works for me. Pity you couldn't fit the ladder in there too.
