‘Gone down the plughole, has he?’ said Gruinard when she and Quenelle went back up to the pool a bit later.

‘Yes, just like you said he would,’ Quenelle said.

‘And did you implant the tracking device inside him?’

‘I did. It’s hidden inside a fake cherry stone lodged securely in his appendix,’ said Quenelle.

‘So at last we shall find out where the drain leads to,’ said Gruinard.

‘Indeed,’ said Quenelle. ‘And I would imagine it must be somewhere very important, considering it carries the sacred Fruit-Pulp dregs.’

Back in Gruinard’s cottage, the two Old Crones, who, now the Fruit-Pulp Immersion had worn off, were old again, opened the secret door under the stairs and went down into the secret room, where Gruinard kept all her gadgets and inventions, most of which had been inspired by a well-thumbed copy of Professor Winchflat’s Wonder Book of Inventions.

When the two Old Crones checked the tracking machine they saw the tiny device buried in Geoffrey-Geoffrey’s stomach leap and jump and wriggle across the screen. Sometimes it would stop, as if looking around, and then move on.

‘If only the device had audio so we could hear what he is saying,’ said Quenelle.

‘It does,’ said Gruinard. ‘I just forgot to turn it on.’
