Everyone was shocked.

‘Now if you don’t mind, I’d like to go to sleep. I presume there’s a room for me upstairs? Perhaps I can bunk in with the goose,’ he offered, licking his snout.

‘No, no,’ said Snappy, suddenly not as snappy as usual. ‘By all means have my room,’ he offered. ‘I’ll share with Craig.’

‘Much obliged,’ said Mossy. ‘Well goodnight, all. Sylvie, say goodnight.’

And they went upstairs, leaving the rescuers open-mouthed below.

The next day at 41 Fairfield Road there was an almighty clean-up operation. All the residents and guests had to be showered, dried and brushed, after which the kitchen, bathroom and more or less the whole house had to be scrubbed, mopped and hoovered. There were several buckets full of mud and fur and a few flower petals. Mrs Bold had an idea that these could all be recycled into some lovely hats, so they were kept outside the back door ready for when she was in a creative mood.

Fun as it had been to be ‘wild’ again for a few hours, it was not to be repeated. The antics of the night before had been necessary to rescue Mossy but tails must be hidden again, clothes must be worn and everyone had to be reminded to walk and talk like humans. And no one could suppose that Mr and Mrs Bingham would let the matter lie. There was (what was left of) the flowerbed in their front garden for a start. Evidence of the terror they had been subjected to was there for all to see.

Uncle Tony went for a casual stroll past Number 10 mid-morning, with Miranda in her pushchair, and sure enough, a police car was parked outside and a reporter and a photographer were in the front garden taking pictures of Craig’s muddy trotter prints. The journalist asked Uncle Tony if he lived locally and if he’d heard ‘anything unusual’ the night before.

‘Like what?’ asked Tony.
