What is Truth? What is Justice?

They're supposed to be waiting at the gate, says Dr Yates crossly.

You must be in a hurry, says Arthur. Wouldn't tomorrow do?

Giant Diprotodon skeletons wait for no man, says Dr Yates.

Surely they do, says Arthur.

Perhaps they've left me a note, says Dr Yates.

He gets out of the Jeep and goes over to the fence to read the note pinned to it by the lobster claw.

Tch! says Dr Yates. They were here, but they had to go back to pick up some book they've left behind.

The Thousand and One Arabian Nights, says Arthur, remembering the book.

They'll be waiting at the Caravan Park Office, says Dr Yates. Come on.

He drives up to the office.

Gaius, Ageless, Baby Pierre, Ouvert and Lavender are on the verandah, waiting. Gaius is perusing a book.

Got it? says Dr Yates. Get in!

They all clamber in to Dr Yates's Jeep.

We haven't got it, says Lavender.

No, we haven't got it, says Baby Pierre. Ageless is really mad!

Arthur and Dr Yates turn round to look at Ageless.

He does look furious.

We've got a different book, says Baby Pierre. Somebody swapped it. They thought it was part of the Travellers' Swapping Library.

What have you got instead? asks Arthur.

The Great Philosophers, says Gaius. It's very interesting. What is truth? What is justice?

Exactly! says Ageless. It was my book. No one had the right to swap it for The Great Philosophers.

Speaking of which, says Dr Yates. Did you bring my carapace?

Your carapace? says Ageless.

I paid for it, says Dr Yates. Where is it?

We thought you had it, says Baby Pierre. It must be in the office.

Drat! says Dr Yates. I'm not going back again. But strictly speaking you owe me thirty dollars, Ageless.

Ageless shrugs.

They are passing through the gate.

The rush of air rustles the paper notes attached to the fence by the lobster claw.

Take the claw, says Arthur.

It wouldn't seem right somehow, says Dr Yates.
