Mystery of the Missing Man
“Tolling were extremely late for tea, which had been cleared away. Mr. Tolling apologized profusely, and Jane brought in some fresh tea, complete with hot scones and chocolate cake.
Fatty was glad that he had brought Mr. Tolling home. Nobody would have thought of bringing Fatty tea if he had arrived when it had been cleared away - but now here was a perfectly splendid tea, all because of Mr. Tolling and his apologies.
Mr. Tolling described his adventures at the Fair, and then how he had been followed home by what he called a half-mad, very nasty-looking fellow with no manners at all. Fatty grinned. He wished that Goon could have heard that!
Eunice arrived much later, having been given tea by Larry at the Fair. She was cross that Fatty had gone off home without her.
Well, I saw your father in difficulties, said Fatty. And I felt I must see him home. He had lost his way. Well, really, Father, said Eunice. Youll lose yourself on your way to bed one of these days! Hadnt you an...d Eunice better have a nice game of chess? said Mrs.MoreLess
