Mr Badger And the Missing Ape (2010)
“There was no time to waste.
While Sir Cecil and Algernon were deep in conversation, Mr Badger crept into the room, picked up the hour hand and carefully hooked it back into place.
As soon as he was out of the room, the clock struck five times. The noise was deafening, fortunately covering up the creaking sounds of the lift doors opening.
Just before the doors closed, Mr Badger heard Sir Cecil say, ‘Good heavens! Look at the time, I must be going. And so must you, old chap.’ So while Algernon cl...eared away the plates, gathered up the photographs and closed the snakes-and-ladders board, Sir Cecil put on his jacket and straightened his bow-tie.
Mr Badger scurried along the secret passageway, climbed the stairs, opened the trapdoor and crept out of Algernon’s case into the foyer just in the nick of time.
He heard footsteps coming up from beneath the floor and quickly hid behind a marble column. Slowly, the trapdoor opened. A head and then a body appeared from the floor of Algernon’s case.MoreLess
