Seashore scene, seen from the edge of the dunes looking out to sea where a wizard, with a huge ear trumpet to his ear, lies prone alongside a colleague taking notes amongst the dune grasses. The trumpet is pointed at a witch on a broomstick talking to a crescent moon, with a face, just above the horizon.
The Scottish Word:

Carline.

Thon carlin winni care that it’s jist yer auld hearing aid.

If we’re caught she’ll go jist as hard on us for usin that as she would if we’d used devilisch speirin whigmaleeries.

Anyway I think we should leg it, I think that crab’s semaphoring to the cat.

Translate:

carline, carlin: witch.

That witch won’t care that it’s just your old hearing aid.

If we’re caught she’ll go just as hard on us for using that as she would if we’d used devilish spying contraptions.

Anyway I think we should run, I think that crab’s semaphoring to the cat.
