glinted in the floodlights. Cockaigne could see why he had mistaken it for Johnson - the torn remains of some expedition overalls were wrapped around its torso like a bizarre attempt at disguise. The creature was growling softly, and wrinkled its nose as though testing the air. Its eyes bored into him from ten metres away. For an instant, Cockaigne found himself trying to place where he had seen those eyes before. Then the wolf stopped snarling, and cocked its head quizzically to one side. ‘Oh God,’ whispered Cockaigne. ‘That’s Olivier.’ He felt a soft pressure on his shoulders.

He fell painfully onto the other implements, but leapt back to a crouch again, brandishing the shovel, panicking and looking wildly around for his attacker.
