Only A Remnant Left

It's a definite, if probably inconsequential, sign of our times that the most numerous class of object currently adding to the church lost property box is not umbrellas or spectacles (though those still turn up), but small water bottles and flasks. We joke that we could put together an entire stall at the next Spring Fair with these artefacts alone. Nobody ever asks after them, even the pink ones with unicorns which are likely (I say no more than that) to belong to children. They are ubiquitous, and yet almost valueless.
