Our eyes met. Mine and the small girl’s. They locked on like laser beams – until the bus jolted forward. I stumbled, righted myself and looked again. But the girl had broken away from her sister and was trying to run through the crowd! And I couldn’t help myself, the words bursting out of me like a Jack-in-the-box.

‘MR FLUFFY!’ I screamed.

I turned and leapt down the stairs, Ellen and Mabel galloping after, Ellen wanting to know what was going on.

‘It’s MR FLUFFY!’ I screamed,

and the bus came to a halt.

‘Cymbeline? Hey, Cymbeline! Cymbeline, wait!’

That was Mum, as we got to the bus stop. But I did NOT listen. Instead, I sprinted over to the door, waiting as it hissed open. Then I leapt on to the pavement, trying to stare through the forest of bodies and pushchairs, bikes and dogs, my brain spinning round like a washing machine: Mr Fluffy? Who I’d just been thinking of? Who was at the very centre of everything that was going on! Had I really seen him? The answer was YES, though that was totally impossible. How COULD he be there? I couldn’t answer that so I just tried to find him – but where WAS he? All I could see were people: arms and legs and bodies and heads until …

‘MR FLUFFY!’ I screamed.

I’d spotted him. Half a leg and an arm – but it was him, up towards the Cutty Sark. Now I am usually an extremely polite person. I say please and thank you, and I ALWAYS hold doors open (and not just for women – sexist!). I also say ‘excuse me’ and I did that now, as I smashed my way through the crowd.

‘Excuse me!’ I cried, as I bumped a girl off her skateboard.

‘Excuse me!’ I bellowed, as I grabbed a pushchair and spun it round.

‘Excuse me!’ I yelled, as I barged past two old ladies, one of their ice creams jumping out of its cone and taking off through the air like a tennis ball.

‘Excuse me!’ I roared, as I jumped over three chihuahuas and a guide dog, their leads getting tangled like spaghetti.

‘Excuse me!’ I shrieked, as I trod on the back of a nun’s black dress and grabbed her arm.

What was she doing there?

And then it was wonderful. Then it was brilliant – because I saw him! And not just a bit of him. I saw ALL of my first !Teddy of Most Extreme Importance! He was up ahead, still with the two girls, though the little one was holding him now. She was clutching him to her chest and staring around – for me? I presumed so but, before she saw me, her eyes hit on something else and she gasped. And then she turned and ran – but I wasn’t having that. She had Mr Fluffy so I chased after her, bobbing this way (‘Excuse me!’) and that (‘Excuse me!’) until the girl was backed up against some wire railings, the river right behind her.
