"After less than a minute Miss Tick had crafted a shamble out of:

One twelve-inch ruler
          One bootlace
          One piece of secondhand string
          Some black thread
          One pencil
          One pencil sharpener
          A small stone with a hole in it
          A match box containing a mealworm called Roger, along
                with a scrap of bread for him to eat, because every 
                shamble must contain something living
          About half a packet of Mrs. Sheergold's Lubricated Throat
                Lozenges
          A button"
