“He used to hide in the van, see?” Pep said. “Not just the van—he’d hide anywhere he could—but the van was a big draw. Many’s the time we’d find him in there mucking about with our kit and have to drag him out by the scruff. And once he got locked in there on a hot day and he was like a little grease spot by the time we found him.” He gave a snort that might have been laughter. “Fishbo wanted to throw a bucket of water over him, but I talked him down to a wet flannel and a suck of an ice cube. ...Margaret and Denny just laughed and gave him a clip round the ear.”“But surely, that Saturday morning, you checked the van,” Opal said. “I don’t see what’s worrying you.”“Well, see, once or twice we didn’t find him, that’s the trouble,” Pep said. “Once we didn’t find him until we’d got all the way to Bradford and started unloading. Margaret and Denny weren’t on the phone, and I didn’t want to get Mrs. Pickess involved and have her wagging her finger at Margaret forevermore, so we just drove him back again and dumped him out in the back lane.MoreLess
