The piano music sounded as if someone was walking their fingers up and down the keys. Then it grew faster and jerkier, leaping from note to note. Bea stopped with a forkful of carrots halfway to her mouth. The music made her think an animal might be scampering up and down the piano keys!

“I know what it is!” said Lady Sylvia, beaming. “It must be Jasper. He does sneak into the castle from time to time.”

“Who’s Jasper?” asked Natasha.

“He’s the big ginger cat that lives in the house at the bottom of the hill,” replied Lady Sylvia. “He can be a bit of a grumpy old thing, bless him, but he loves to pad around the castle and lounge in front of the fire. I’m not even sure how he manages to get inside!”

Bea’s stomach turned cold. The ginger cat was inside the castle! What if it found Marshmallow and scared the poor reindeer? She jumped to her feet. “Great-Aunt, can I be excused for a moment?”

“Of course, my dear.” Lady Sylvia smiled. “Your father’s been telling me how much you like animals. I’m sure you want to go and stroke Jasper.”

“I’ll come too!” Natasha rose to her feet, shooting a look at her sister. “I… Er… I love animals too. Don’t I, Bea?”

Bea didn’t stop to reply. Her feet thudded as she raced out into the hall.
