Some said that he must be young or he could not be so wicked.
So you see there were two opinions about him.
There are always two opinions about a celebrated man.
If you look at him you will see that he dressed to please himself.
[Illustration: Supposed birthplace of Tomb family. Family of Bone still living in the cottage.]
He wore a nice hat--but you have noticed that; and he had a roving eye.
By which I do not mean his eye walked about like this, but that he looked around him a good deal.
[Illustration]

[Illustration: He dreams of other worlds to conquer.]
Tom Tomb--that was not his name, but it was the way he signed other people's cheques, and your father and mother will tell you that this is a very mean trick--lived partly on an island, and partly on board the Inky Murk.
[Illustration]
