all done-and "who done it"-along with our intrepid protagonists,
Parker and Peele. "What is this stuff?" wondered Parker, and her
companion pointed her umbrella to the drawings that plastered the
walls. "The raw materials for the best forgeries ever seen" replied
her friend. "This is where they were created." Together they
examined the drawings, exclaiming softly as they recognized several
objects from the Museum. Parker picked up one of the colorful lumps
and frowned. "What is this, Peele? It's soft like clay, but I've
never seen these colors before." "No," said her friend, "nor have
I-at least in this form. I suspect it requires a catalyst of some
type to render it into the false gems-ah, here " Peele uncovered an
array of electric ovens. "Heat-how charming. This must be some type
of polymer, which, when brought to the proper temperature, then
hardens. I have heard rumors. Could become just about anything, in
skilled hands."
