“Who are you all?” the boy with scruffy hair wanted to know.
“Why, isn’t it obvious?” said the animated man with the long white beard and the pointed hat.
“Not to me,” said the man with the metallic skullcap and the trim beard in his high-pitched voice.
The unkempt, unwashed man dyed in woad paint mumbled, but no one understood him.
A wizened old man, his drawn face impassive, said nothing.
A clean-shaven man in an anachronistic tweed jacket frowned. “You can’t all be me, surely? I know I’m to be ginger and Merlin someday, but this is ridiculous!”
