“Good work, sir,” Basil told him. Then he turned to the teenagers once more. “Explain,” he repeated. “What terrible thing has happened, other than worrying your families half to death?”

“We’re sorry about that.” Clara’s face looked drawn and anxious. “We didn’t mean to make them worry.”

Marek nodded. “It’s just that we took our last dare a step too far,” he added.

“Yes.” Clara glared at him. “It was his idea.”

Marek shrugged. “I admit it. I overheard a human saying that the royal family—ours, that is”—here he glanced at the other Bohemians—“would be sitting for a photographic portrait in the breakfast room first thing this morning.”

“So he dared us to pop up behind them as the photograph was taken,” his sister, Pavla, went on. “That way we would appear in the photograph—with the humans none the wiser!”

I couldn’t help smiling. It was a clever plan indeed! “And then what happened?” I asked, kicking at a bit of sugar still lingering on the floor nearby. “Did you pull it off?”

“Of course.” Young Hugo puffed out his chest with pride. “We hid until just the right moment, then posed behind the humans’ shoulders. None of them noticed a thing—not even the photographer!”

Marek grinned for a second. Then his shoulders slumped. “But then we heard that this photo would be presented at the ball tomorrow night,” he said. “That’s when we realized our terrible mistake.”
