Mystery of Banshee Towers
“Mr Goon was in one of his worst tempers. He always was when he had met Fatty, whom he disliked very much.
“That fat boy!” he said to Ern. “I don’t trust him an inch. Never did. It’s a pity he’s not as stupid as he looks. Too clever by half, he is!”
“He doesn’t look stupid, Uncle,” said Ern, emptying some potatoes into a bowl of water to peel. “How could he when he’s got such marvellous brains! You should hear him talk - luvaduck, he knows pretty well everything!”
“I’ll luvaduck you if you don’t get on with those potatoes, Ern,” said Mr Goon. “That fat boy’s a menace - yes, that’s the word for him - a menace!”
“What’s a menace, Uncle?” asked Ern. “Anything to do with manners? Sounds a bit the same.”
“I don’t know if you’re being rude, or just plain stupid, Ern,” said Mr Goon majestically. “But this I do know - you’ll get a clip on the ear soon.”
“And one of these days my dog will bite you if you clip me!” cried Ern, almost at the end of his tether.
