"All eyes turned to Inocenta. All but mine, that is. I very prudently walked over to the desk and took charge of a large tiki-head wastebasket, about two seconds before Inocenta got there. Inocenta then proceeded, starting out briefly in English, but then moving into Spanish, to lay out her feelings on the subject. To the not-so-secret satisfaction of the legal councillor.

It was at the point where she started to wrestle with me for control of the wastebasket that the Ambassador, pleading urgent business elsewhere, made a hurried departure, one hurried further by a tiki-head wastebasket bouncing off his hardened back."

This is from Chapter One of "The I Do's of March," a well-written romantic comedy found on the Spontoon Island website. On the right we see the lovely but volatile Inocenta de Ciervos (Spanish red deer) pursuing the United States Ambassador to Spontoon, 'Marryin' Sam' Brunswick (nine-banded Arkansas armadillo). The obligatory tiki-head wastebasket puts in a well-received cameo appearance.
