She was wrong. It took a lot of wriggling, but eventually the thief was inside the manor. He spent two minutes putting his bones back in the right places and disabling the burglar alarm and then the door opened and in went the gang. The children heard the rubber man adopt a posh voice and say, ‘Welcome to Partington Manor. Do come in and help yourself to whatever you want.’ The other two laughed.

‘We have to stop them,’ Spud said to his sister, ‘but Mum said not to do anything except watch.’ He looked at Star.

‘But that’s not what a real spy pup would do,’ she said hopefully.

‘You’re right,’ he agreed. ‘If we let them get away, then the circus will roll on to the next town. Let’s go!’

‘I don’t think the puppies are just going to sit here, do you?’ Ben whispered to his brother and sister as the puppies stared towards the open door.

‘No,’ agreed Sophie. ‘Maybe we could sneak up and lock them in a room until the police arrive.’

‘We can’t phone them until we’re inside anyway – my mobile is charging at home,’ Ben pointed out.

‘C’mon, sis,’ said Spud. ‘No time to waste!’

Star led the way. The children and puppies crept across the lawn and stood by the side door. Spud peeked in through the cat flap. ‘All clear,’ he wagged. He and his sister crept inside. Ben creaked open the door and soon the children and puppies were standing in the hallway of the fabulous house.

‘Wow!’ gasped Ollie, looking at the paintings and vases. ‘The Partingtons are very rich people!’

‘Soon to be much less rich,’ said Sophie. ‘When those horrible performers have stolen the gems.’

‘I heard them say it was the fourth floor,’ woofed Star to her brother quietly. ‘Come on, team, let’s investigate.’

Star scampered up the first flight of carpeted stairs, leaving muddy paw prints as she went. Ben, Sophie and Ollie crept along, Ollie doing exaggerated tiptoes like he’d seen in cartoons. He issued a very loud ‘Shush,’ for effect. Sophie waved her arms and did a much quieter ‘Shush,’ to her brother.
