The gondola had come gliding towards them a few minutes after the dragon had disappeared. The boy had obviously seen it – the whole city must have done – and he had come back for them, muttering prayers of relief as he hauled them out of the water. Hehad forced them to drink out of a small black bottle that he had concealed in an inside pocket of his jacket, spirits that burned Rose’s throat wonderfully as she swallowed and coughed.
    They scrambled out at the quayside, and Gus, looking half
...his usual size, purred loudly at the boy. He glanced up at Rose, and whispered, ‘Pull out one of my whiskers, and give it to him.’ Rose winced, but did it anyway, passing the thin white wire to the staring gondolier. ‘Keep it safe,’ she told him, folding his fingers around it, and pressing his hand against her own heart. ‘For luck, you see?’ And he nodded, wide-eyed, and kissed his fingers to herand Gus.
    Then they slipped through the muttering crowd, all watching the ship as it burned down closer and closer to the water line.
