I stared at the limousine parked in front of our house (at least, its bonnet was parked in front of our house . . . the rest of the car was so long, it was parked in front of next door too).

“Good morning, miss,” said the driver. It was the same man who had driven the limo for Stella Lightfoot yesterday. He over to the side of the car and opened the door as if he was expecting someone to step in . . . or out!

Stella Lightfoot, I thought. My heart was pounding as sunlight bounced off the dark windows. But it couldn’t be. Why would Stella Lightfoot be coming to visit me?

Unless. . . My heart was thumping so hard now I was scared I would shrink from excitement. Unless she had seen the picture of us together on the news. Now she wanted to find out more about what I’d been saying . . . about the hedgehogs, perhaps?

“Hum,” the driver coughed sharply. He was still holding the door. “Aren’t you going to get in?”

“Me? Get in?” I peered into the dark limo. “But – but . . . I don’t understand?”

“ ” cried Gran. She bustled on to the doorstep beside me, clutching her stripy bag. “I told you I’d ordered a taxi.”

“‘But this isn’t a taxi,” I said. “It’s a—”

“A limousine. I know. Isn’t it wonderful?” Gran’s eyes “I got the idea when I saw Stella Lightfoot driving away at the end of the newsflash. I called Swanchester Limos and hired one for us. I thought it would be fun. You’re famous now you’ve been on telly, Violet. You have to travel in style.” Gran clapped her hands.

“You mean, you asked for a limousine just to take us to the hairdresser?” I stammered, struggling to make sense of everything. The limo was empty. The driver wasn’t bringing Stella Lightfoot here – he was collecting me . . . as a treat. This was – even for Gran.

“It’s so totally glamorous!” I said, throwing my arms around her neck.

“Hum.” The driver cleared his throat louder than ever. “I’m afraid we do need to get going. I have a very important client after you.”
