Zanoba addressed me with a serious look.
He carried the huge pedestal over his shoulder.
It clearly wasn't made with the consideration that it would ever be carried around given its weight, it's only possible because it's Zanoba.
For the time being, it was wrapped in cloth, but when viewed from a distance, he may appear to be carrying a coffin.
"What is it?"
"The study of this moving doll. Will you entrust it to me?"
