Later they had raisin pie.

Malcolm was thinking about the flibbertegibbet. Aunty Brenda must have meant Dad. Why did she call him a flibbertegibbet? What is a flibbertegibbet?

Wenda looked Malcolm straight in the face and said, ‘Do your feet smell?’

‘No, I don’t think so,’ Malcolm said as hopefully as he could.

‘Good,’ said Wenda. ‘Because in America people travel about in camper vans. You can’t spend days and days in a camper van with someone who has smelly feet.’

Malcolm looked at his feet.

‘Do you know where he is?’ Wenda asked him.

‘He’s at home,’ Malcolm said.

‘No, not Uncle Gobb,’ Wenda said. ‘I meant your dad.’

‘That’s enough, Wenda,’ Brenda said, not wanting Wenda to talk so directly about Malcolm’s dad.

‘Do we, Mum?’ Malcolm said. ‘Do we know where Dad is?’

‘Connecticut,’ she said and she looked out the window.

Just outside the window was a big face made out of cogs and pulleys and bolts. It was painted green. ‘Their heads are green …’ It must be a Jumbly, Malcolm thought.
