‘Hey! You there! What are you doing?’

‘Mmmph?’

‘Your nest is in those nylon slacks. This velvet shirt is reserved, by statute, for privileged clothes moths.’

‘But we’re starving over there! We weren’t meant to eat synthetic fibres!’

‘There is plenty of food where you’re supposed to be. And whatever you might think of it, is it not said that “hunger makes the best sauce”?

‘What if I just nibble on the collar?’

‘Absolutely not!’

‘Well, I’m not going back!’

‘You don’t have to. You just can’t stay here.’

‘So those leather chaps…?’

‘Dig in with relish.’

‘Relish! Great idea.’
