“That’s remarkable,” said Rachel. “She’s completely intact. All those rocks on the bottom and she hasn’t chipped a single scale.”

“She’s got pond weed up her nose, though,” Lucy said, in a manner which her mother always described as ‘truculent’.

“Monkey?” he repeated, looking glazed.

“A terror in slippers.” She gave his cheek a kiss.

“I don’t think he meant any harm,” said Liz.

“What?” hissed Lucy. “Mum, he chucked Glade in the pond!”
