Across the harbour, Verne had spent the day helping his father and brother clean up the mess. At bedtime, he entered his room apprehensively.

There was a faint smell of lavender. Changing into his pyjamas, he discovered several pouches of the stuff dotted about his pillows. His mother had been taking tips from Mrs Wilson. The boy pulled a face and put them in a drawer.

The gleam of gold shone up into his eyes. That strange treasure glittered among his socks. Verne stared at it. He didn’t know what it was, but it had to be responsible for his freaky sleepwalking.

‘You’re not going to make me do that again,’ he told it. ‘You’re going back to the beach tomorrow. Or I might even chuck you in the river.’

He suddenly felt extremely foolish, snarling at his socks and underpants. Reaching into the drawer, he took out the Nimius.

‘I’m cracking up,’ he said. ‘You’re probably just some fancy snuffbox. Lil’s always telling me there’s no such thing as magic. She should know.’

The light winked and glanced off the richly decorated surface as he turned the precious object over. It really was an impressive marvel of craftsmanship and Verne was certain it was worth thousands of pounds. Then he noticed one of the symbols was raised higher than the others. He was sure it hadn’t been like that earlier. Curious, he ran his fingertip over it. It was a triangle with a straight line cutting through the topmost point. Verne wondered what it meant.
