what on earth happened! Mabel cried, snatching up her pile of knitting from Selma‘s armchair, and the booklet of knitting patterns from bounties beside it. She pushed a pale and gasping Miranda down onto the sofa with the hand that held the knitting patterns and plopped down beside her. melody bustled about in the kitchen, making the three of them tea. Selma lowered herself slowly into her armchair and picked up her embroidery from the table between the two chairs. Concentrating intensely on her work, she said, we have seen Jamila. What! Cried Mabel, jumping up from the sofa and staring at Selma, her jaw almost hitting the floor. It was hanging so wide open. Yes, bounty said, glancing briefly up from his notebook which he was writing in. Selma glanced at it and analyzed, Japanese. at that moment, Melody strode in, a large tea tray in her arms. She took one look at Mabel and the tray fell with a clatter and a splash. What’s going on? And Mabel sit down before you fall over, why do you look like a goldfish out of water? she glanced down at the mess she had just made. Oh heck! That’ll scorch the carpet. we saw Jamila, bounty said quietly. He snapped his notebook shut and put it down with a thud on the table. The tray that Melody had dropped was metal, but the second best China tea cups had been smashed to smithereens and the boiling hot tea was spreading rapidly over the carpet. she squatted down and carefully gathered up the China and hurried out of the lounge. Large scorch marks were now on the carpet. Mabel had pulled herself together enough to throw a towel down onto the floor so that nobody slipped over. She threw herself down onto the couch beside Miranda and frowned. We have not seen Jamila for just over a year now, what happened to him Selma? Selma also put down her embroidery, folded her hands in her lap, and looked at Mabel with a puzzled expression. we saw his shadow, bounty explained. It was for about five seconds, Selma added. Miranda was in her falcon form and she must have seen him coming. I flew back to the destroyer’s hut to warn them, but he already saw us, Miranda piped up. at that very moment, the large telephone which had been sitting on the dresser doing nothing, which was of any use to anyone, rang loudly. Bounty rose, cross the room in three large strides, and snatched the receiver from its holder. Hello, he said, getting that serious look in his eye that usually came with answering the telephone. jamila! He exclaimed, he threw down the telephone, ran back to the armchair and stood beside it, staring blankly into space. Selma Rose, and approached him cautiously. She did not have to go very far as there was nothing but a table between the two chairs. She touched his arm gently, and he jumped violently, snapping out of whatever trance he had been put in. He suddenly turned pale and fell into the armchair with the gas. What’s wrong? Melody sprinted into the room. I heard Jamila! She fell onto the sofa all out of breath. You did, he said quietly. Salma took his hand and looked at him carefully. as the clock strikes midday tomorrow, bounty said slowly. Prepare the helicopter.
