"One Yorick's skull-a time-worn, tenantless, and valuable relic, in which graveyard worms have banqueted more than once.
Two ladies fainted outright, others sickened at the idea of having banqueted with a specter. It was the opinion of some, that this might be the wild huntsman, famous in German legend.
