Chapter 16

Attack of the Roo-de-lallies

Outside the wind was howling and the first drops of rain were beginning to fall, a cold, cold rain that meant no one any good. ‘The bad guy lost an’ the townsfolk won an’ all’s well that ends well. Good night an’ sweet dreams, says I!’

‘Oh, young ’un,’ said Old Granny. ‘The story is not yet over, don’t you see? Nicholas’ chance has come again after all.’

‘But all that stuff done happened ages ago!’ exclaimed Polly. ‘Nicholas de Twinklecakes is dead an’ gone, you saids it yourself with your very own cracked old lips. It’s all in the past!’

‘Aye, young ’un,’ said Old Granny mysteriously. ‘But the past has a way of repeating itself. The past has a way of repeating itself. The past has a way of repeating itself. And the crystals are growing strong with power again. Tonight is Midsummer’s Eve, and I dread to think what may happen if the crystals are taken to the windmill on a night like this.’

‘Well, bad luck, you stupid old hassler, cos that’s exactly where we’re takin’ them,’ rasped a filthy voice, and spinning around Polly gasped to see Mr Gum and Billy William climbing from Old Granny’s fridge, eating boiled eggs as they came. The roo-de-lallies had tracked them down!
