In the empty dining room, Tenterhooks had made a good meal of the remains of the fish. Whatever he had found, here and there, had been consumed with much licking and quivering, although he could barely swallow for purring. Shortly afterwards, the kitten’s stomach had revolted, violently, against the unprecedented influx and the table was not now anywhere near as attractive as before the party had been called away. It didn’t matter, however, as the dining room was – for the present – abandoned. Even TravershamBeechers had disappeared. There was no trace of him at all in the room; no stray curl of smoke, no odour of hair oil, lingering. Was he among the passengers, eating his fill? Was he shrouded in a drab woollen shawl with a baby’s head in the corner of his arm? Or was he wandering the halls of the house, trailing his fingers over the soft panels? Perhaps he was just resting his flesh and bones until the next time they were needed.
