It was the clink of metal being dropped and then rolling followed by the skittering of little paws on slick floor that drew the attention of the adults. Thoughts of ‘they probably have one of the new toys’ making them lose interest , before the realization that among the Christmas toys had not been anything like the latest play thing. There was a thankful collective sigh that it didn’t have that hollow sound of glass before Brian stood to see what it was.
