The monkey tide sloshed up onto Cliff’s bouldery summit and lapped around the Water Mole. The sea monkeys were so small that Oliver did not think they could shift the submarine, but there were so many of them that they did. The Water Mole lifted from its perch, afloat again on a sea of snot-green fur. Oliver and Iris had to jump out of the way as the chattering monkeys rushed back with it into the sea. The Thurlstone dipped down, until only Stacey’s balcony and the old stones and the trees around the temple showed, and the monkeys swam and swirled and struggled and shoved the Water Mole onto his head.

“So long, losers!” called Stacey de Lacey. “We’ll see you at the Hallowed Shallows—if you still think it’s worth turning up, of course.”

The Thurlstone turned and moved off. The glass orbs that were Oliver’s parents’ prisons bobbed on either side of it, towed on their tethers of rope, with Mr. and Mrs. Crisp waving sad goodbyes inside them. Sea monkeys went scurrying back to their nests in the old stone heads. The Water Mole shone so brightly in the slanting sunlight that Oliver could see the gleam of it long after the wicked island had dwindled to a speck on the horizon.
