The first few days passed quickly for Stewie and isolated group, but then soon developed into quite a predictable routine. They visited the Kell Shi-Kai guardrooms, inspected the war hound kennels, toured the Blood Clan council chambers and the armoury. All of which had been quite interesting the first time around, but after a second and sometimes third visit, they had definitely began to lose their appeal. And all the while the food kept coming, and always, just when the children thought they couldn’t possibly eat another thing, some strange new delicacy was conjured up to tempt them beyond their limits.

It was on the eighth day, however, that everything changed. They were back in the banqueting hall once again. Stewie had taken his place at the table with Sukhi on his right, wading into a gigantic lemon meringue pie, and another boy on his left who was cutting out and eating only the yolks from a plate of fried eggs.

Stewie looked down at his empty plate and all the incredible dishes spread out in front of him, then he began to cry.

‘Now, now,’ said Bogmilla. ‘I can see a little boy who isn’t eating his dinner. What’s the matter, can’t you find anything you like?’

Stewie didn’t answer, so Bogmilla started to list various culinary alternatives.

‘You don’t understand,’ Stewie suddenly exploded. ‘Food has always been one of the most important things in my life, but you’ve made me completely sick of it. I can’t even stand the sight of it any more.’

‘And look at this.’ he said, standing up and with some difficulty forcing his hand into the waistband of his trousers. ‘I mean, I’ll admit I was a bit chunky before I came down here, but you’ve made me . . . well, big boned at least. And if I carry on like this, I could become a full on wobble-bottom.’

‘Don’t be silly,’ said Bogmilla. ‘You’re filling out in all the right places, and if it’s the clothes you’re worried about, they should be fitting you with a complete new wardrobe in a day or so. Come on now, why don’t you try one of these nice mince pies?’

‘You’re not listening,’ Stewie fumed. ‘I don’t want anything from you, I just want to go home!’

‘Oh dear,’ said Bogmilla. ‘Aren’t we a silly old fuss-pot?’

‘Well now, is anyone else dissatisfied with their treatment so far?’ she said to the other children.

Eleven ‘No’s’ were mumbled into the dinner plates around the table, plus one ‘Mo mish’ from Charlotte Chalk, whose mouth was still full of mashed potato.

‘You see, everyone else is enjoying themselves, so what makes you so special?’

‘Cowards!’ said Stewie, who could see from the look on their faces they were all too afraid to say any different.

‘In a way I’m glad,’ said Bogmilla. ‘We thought that something like this might happen and we are not unprepared. I will offer you one last chance, however,’ she said, picking up a nearby scotch egg. ‘Will you accept this as a token of our good will and friendship?’

‘Never,’ said Stewie defiantly.
