The wizard and I had to fight like tigers to wrestle this 300-year-old English stained glass armorial panel from the grasping hands of all the other people bidding on it.
It was an online, international auction with live bidding, but we had a specific place for it in the new conference rooms being built for the businesses served by the Wizard of Ads partners.
In the end, I created a distraction that gave the wizard an opportunity to secure the item, and then we ran for the exit.
