"Much later, Titus was to remark that this must have been the only time in history when a dirty diaper could be said to have saved several lives."  The entire Strega-Borgia family had been attempting to squash themselves into the interior of their long-suffering car for a shopping trip to the nearby village, Auchenlochtermuchty, when Damp's disgusting diaper caused them to evacuate the car.  Just as they cleared the car, three vast and ancient roof slates that had clung to the roof of the Stregaschloss for 600 years, dropped onto said car demolishing it.  Signora Strega-Borgia, having just completed six months of a 7 year degree in advanced magic, worked a spell to fix the roof which resulted in a giant pink band-aid.  Mrs. Flora McLachlin, the nanny, promises to fix the fix.  She no longer has her magic make-up case, however.  She swapped it for something better...an imat.  Highly recommended!  Pure Dead Fun!!
