'Very poor,' agreed Bertha.

'In the cold harsh light of day I'd be forced to agree with you,' replied Cyril, 'but in the early hours of the morning, in the middle of an alcohol fuelled, post award ceremony, penguin filled party?'

'It becomes a veritable masterpiece of a disguise!' exclaimed Bertha.

'Which means?' asked Captain Bill.

'Skulduggery!' said Norma.
