“That’s the oldest trick in the world,” growled Mr Curry. “Gluing a cup and saucer together. Here – give me that – I’ll show you …”

No one knew what happened next, but the bellow of rage from Mr Curry as he made a dash for the door and the crash of breaking china said it all.

“Oh, dear!” Mrs Brown surveyed the empty table. “It doesn’t seem to have been much of a birthday party.”

“Never mind,” said Mr Gruber. “I’ve enjoyed myself no end, and perhaps young Mr Brown has some more tricks up his sleeve.”

“I’ve saved my best one until last,” said Paddington. “I only hope my abracadabra worked.”

So saying he lifted up the cloth he had used earlier and lo and behold, there were the missing cakes!

“Which only goes to show,” said Mr Gruber, “the quickness of the paws certainly does deceive the eye.”

“And still waters run deep,” said Mrs Bird. Her eagle eyes had just spotted a warning note in Paddington’s book under the heading HOW TO GET RID OF AN UNWANTED VISITOR. It said: Never use hot water on the china. It may make the glue melt. “If you ask me there’s more to that bear’s abracadabras than meets anyone’s eye.”
