‘Not goin’ in for a dip?’ Jake asked dryly.

Fletch shook his head. ‘Don’t feel like it today Jake.’

‘You and water were never friends, Fletch,’ remarked Jake, trying to avoid the other’s bad breath.

‘There’s plenty down there to catch those two,’ grunted Fletch. ‘I thought I’d best stick with you.’

‘What fer?’ asked Jake suspiciously.

‘Oh I just like to stick with the winners.’

‘Think I’m a winner, eh?’

‘Well, one what knows where he’s goin’, then.’

‘And you wanna come with me, right?’

Fletch grinned and his breath whistled through his sharp teeth. Where we bound?’

Jake looked down to the water where the swimming rats were gaining on the little raft. ‘There’s still the skirt to catch. You lot!’ he called to the five remaining rats on the ledge.

‘Leave ’em to it. Let’s find our own mouse.’

The rats cheered and Jake led them away. Through the tunnels they went until they came to the Grille. To their great glee they found there the very mouse they were looking for. Audrey had just sent Twit to fetch Arthur when Jake reached out and grabbed her from behind.
