Therefore the Whatsit has unfortunately contributed to many terrible tragedies not least including the massacre of the Serenese automaton, the suicide of the clockwork demiurge Ebbelflanger, the collapse of the half-built tower of Pythagora, and sharp decline of the gnomish population of Mt. Nevermind. At some point in the past, the Whatsit was sealed in an enchanted wooden box with sovereign glue by one Ebenezer Sproot, known as Sproot the Martyr; before his subsequent torture and execution at the hands of Gondite inquisitors.  No presently known method has yet been able to harm or open the box as a result of the enchantments placed thereupon.Next item: A gaudy, gilded buckle.</blockquote>
