The Fangs of the Dragon
“Muddy and I arrived back at the house for 9 a.m., ready for a solid day’s fortune-hunting. Muddy brought along a rucksack full of assorted gadgets of his own design. I wasn’t sure how useful the Whitehouse Silent Alarm Mark II or the Whitehouse Personal Reversing Mirror might turn out to be, but I thought that having a few tools to hand was a good idea all the same.
Izzy turned up at quarter past nine. I’d called her back the night before and given her the full story, and also sent her a co...py of the treasure trail. Jack’s parents had been given a pile of old documents and papers when they’d bought the house: legal stuff, plans of where the drains went, a certificate from when the plumbing was installed, all that sort of stuff. None of it was of help in deciphering the parchment, and none of it recorded anything earlier than 1900. So I was counting on Izzy to come up trumps!
