For variety, a snake-skin from a corner room in Hollis will answer the purpose; though why this should be a pleasing object of contemplation is a mystery. Add now a pair of clasped hands with names neatly carved on them; this is the subject of an annual presentation to the happy occupant of a corner room in the ground-floor of Hollis...
