“What d’you mean?’ I asked, baffled. ‘Well, Sebastian’s car wasn’t in front of the house when Chaucy and I got here, so we thought we’d had it. Then we saw Aunt Beth through the front-room window and, luckily for us, Sebastian turned up about ten minutes later. He went into the house and then he came out carrying one big suitcase and a little one. At first I was scared that they were both going to the airport for their flight to Rio and then what would we do? But Sebastian got into his car by hi...mself and drove off. About ten minutes after that Aunt Beth … that is, Beth came out of the house. She walked off down the street and Chaucy followed her.’ ‘Why didn’t you follow her?’ I asked. ‘I was going to until Chaucy pointed out that he had less chance of being spotted. Beth doesn’t know him. Besides, someone had to see what had happened to you.’ ‘You needn’t make it sound like you’d rather have had your toenails pulled out,’ I sniffed. ‘I’m here, aren’t I?’ I couldn’t argue with that.MoreLessRead More Read Less
