Lottie looked at the creature. It was large, had pointy ears and a long neck. It could easily have been mistaken for a cat.

“Oops. I suppose I should take this rug off you then,” she said to it, sulking a little.

“Actually, it’s a tapestry,” said Uncle Bert. “It’s also five hundred years old and priceless.”

Lottie smiled sheepishly at Uncle Bert and hung the tapestry back on the wall, taking great care.

“Ugly thing, ain’t it?” said Reg, pointing at the llama. He turned his back on it and watched Lottie hang the tapestry. “If the cat’s not here, where’s it got to then? That’s what I want to – wah!”

Reg suddenly fell forward, crashing into the display of beakers. He dropped to the floor and quickly turned to see a few of the delicate objects teetering at the edge of their tables. He dived to catch them as they toppled downward, saving them all like a champion goalkeeper. He clutched them close to his body.

“Are these –?”

“Priceless?” asked Uncle Bert. “Yes! Please, do be more careful.”

“I couldn’t help it! I was kicked up the bum by –” Reg looked around. “Well, I never. There’s no one there.”
