When he was a young man, he heard that that camel had died of old age. When later he inherited Shortseat, he vowed that he would one day have a camel there. But they were very rare. Only a thousand or so still survived in Mongolia’s Gobi Desert.

“You haven’t had any report of anything escaping, have you, John?” said Lord Basin to his manager.

“No, sir.”

“Well, whatever’s caused all this damage, it’s got nothing to do with me.”

Even as Lord Basin spoke, Hezekiah was approaching the main gate of the Shortseat Safari Park.

Lord Basin sat back in his office chair, stroking his beard thoughtfully Maybe the feel of it made him think of hairy creatures.

“Switch on the television, John, please. I want to watch the West Country News.”

How I’d love to have a Bactrian camel, he thought, and to his utter amazement the first item on the news was about the escape of a camel from the zoo. It had set off cross-country, the newscaster said, ending up at Shortseat.
