“A wild beast!” shrieked Madame Rez. “There’s a wild beast outside!” She scurried out of the door in a surprisingly unladylike manner.

Lulu giggled. She ran over to the window and opened it to look for Tufty. She spotted Clarabel, who was holding the wriggling cub in her arms.

“It’s all right, she’s gone now!” hissed Lulu. “You can come out.”

Emily and Jaminta, who had been hiding around the corner, came over to join Clarabel.

“Sorry, Lulu!” said Jaminta. “Tufty slipped out of the bedroom when we opened the door.”

“We had to chase him around the palace,” added Clarabel. “Luckily no one saw us.”

“Sorry to ruin your lesson!” Emily grinned.

Lulu rolled her eyes. “It was terrible! I felt about as ladylike as a giraffe! Now let’s get out of here before someone spots Tufty.”

Lulu slipped out of the door and beckoned them to follow her. Just as they were about to hurry away, they heard footsteps coming toward them.

“Where should we put Tufty?” whispered Clarabel.

Lulu looked around, but there was nothing in the hallway that would hide a wiggly lion cub. Then an idea struck her.

“Pass him to me,” she said, taking Tufty from Clarabel’s arms. Quick as a flash, she put him down on the floor and swung her skirts over him so that he was hidden underneath. Luckily, her long, frilly dress reached right down to the ground. She dropped her skirts just as Lady Malika swept around the corner.

“What are you all doing?” she asked, looking at the girls with narrowed eyes.

“Nothing,” said Lulu.

“Really, nothing at all,” added Emily.

Tufty gave a little meow beneath Lulu’s dress, which Jaminta tried to drown out with a loud cough.

“It’s nice to see you in a proper dress for a change, Lulu,” said Lady Malika.

Lulu’s skirts shook as Tufty bounced around underneath, trying to find a way out. “Er … thank you, Aunt,” she said.

Lady Malika frowned for a moment. Then she gave them one of her half smiles and walked away down the corridor.

“That was close!” whispered Emily.

Picking up Tufty, Lulu raced away, with the others following close behind.
