The History of Grubbing or Thank You SI For letting us grub. The man in gray looked at the case and the many fine grubs on display there. The fine woodwork set off the gleaming bits and baubles perfectly. He carefully moved some of the more important grubs aside leaving the display shelf clearer at eye level. He rearranged everything so that the center of the shelf, where the eye was drawn, was almost empty. He drew a red oval of felt from his pocket and fanned it out onto the open space, he brushed the pad lightly and then turned and retrieved a wooden casket, newly made, from where he had set it nearby. As the rosewood mantle clock struck the midnight hour he reverently opened the casket revealing three gems, a pair of pale blue diamonds as large as a robins eggs sat on each side of an iridescent stone of great size and beauty. As large as a goose egg it gleamed with an internal fire, it was of a type never seen before. Each nestled in a separate compartment on beds of pale gray satin. Each compartment acted as a display bed and he handled each carefully as he removed them and placed them in the Post Grubbers Trophy Case , letting the diamonds flank his new treasure. He adjusted the overhead lights so that the the large iridescent stone gleamed and shimmered.
