How do we get in?

things only because I'm here.

Ah, but it's like old times to me.

I've had fine times on winter nights
when the wolves were after the stock.

But I hoped you'd come, because other
wolves are running, and they're running

after me, and they're running me very
close.

What do they want?

Not me.

They want my box of delights that I
showed you at the inn.

I've not had it long.

It is Master Arnold's box, not mine.

And though I've sought him and called
him, I've not found him.

Gone a long way back as Master Arnold.

But doesn't... Excuse me, but doesn't
the box protect you from the wolves?

Ah, they run me close with that new
magic which I can't guard myself

Not anymore.

Because I'm old now and only know the
old magic.

No, Master Kay.

I look to you.

Will you keep it and see that they never
get it?

Of course.

I'll keep anything you want kept.

But if you're in danger, shouldn't you
go to the police?

Ah, the police don't heed the kind of
wolf that's after me.

Now, let me show you, Master K.

There are three things you must know
about this box.

Mr. Hallings, but don't you think...
Perhaps your magic is fading.

You open it like this.

If you push this to the right, you can
go small.

If you press it to the left, you can go
swift.

Yes, yes.

So will you keep it for me until I'm
able to claim it? If I ever may be able.

Or until old Master Arnold comes back
out of the old time for it.

Yes, I promise I will.

But how is Master Arnold?

Above all, keep it from them.

Nothing.

Go back to sleep. I must have been
dreaming.

Towards

dawn.

Getting me up before it's light on the
first day of the holidays.

I think it's the purple pin.

Shh.

Aren't we having a secret breakfast?

Here.

And won't we have a proper breakfast
later on as well?

I suppose so.

Well, stop grumbling then.

Oh, very well. But what are we going out
for?

Oh.

Explore. Hunt.

Is he all sorts of things at this time
of day?

You never see normally.

Why, there's King Arthur's camp.

But it's just a mound of earth.

Told you, there's nothing there.

Come on, let's go explore it.

Give him, Chet.

We have him.

They've got him. What can we do?

Come on, you're ready.

Well, we scrabbled the old man.

I'm sure it was old Mr. Hollings.

Our point and duty man.

Certainly looked jolly like him.

But who are they?

And what would they want him for?

I wonder.

Hey, I'm glad I came.

What shall we do?

I'm afraid we're going to have to report
it to the police.

An aeroplane.

You

haven't been

around lately to see my rabbits, Master
Harker.

I've been away at school, Inspector.

Ah.

An aeroplane.

It bottlers down.

Near King Arthur's camp.

Have you seen the latest issue of The
Magician, Master Harker?

There's a very good conjuring trick.

Hard -boiled eggs.

The Inspector and I are both interested
in magic.

No, I haven't. You take thick, hard
-boiled eggs.

And when I say take, it wouldn't be for
you to take them without your guardian's

permission. Far be it from me, as a man
of the law, to encourage...

An aeroplane. You see, I should hate
anything to happen to old Mr. Hallings.

Master Harker, that aeroplane... That
aeroplane...

That was those young officers from the
aerodrome, having a

bit of a frolic. It didn't look like a
frolic, and they weren't in uniform, and

I'm sure it wasn't a government plane.

Besides, such a lonely place, and at
such a time in the morning.

And what were you doing at that place
and at such a time in the morning, eh?

I hope you young gentlemen weren't
trespassing. No.

No, of course we weren't. We were
exploring.

Ah.

Now then, did this old man struggle at
all or cry out?

No, he didn't have a chance to.

And did he see you or did the other
gentlemen see you?

No, they couldn't. Not from where we
were.

And did you shout or otherwise try to
raise an alarm?

I'm afraid we didn't. We were flummoxed,
flabbergasted. It all happened in an

instant.

Well, it sounds like the air at home to
me.

Those young fellows, Master Harker,
serve in their country and away from the

civilising influence of their mothers,
full of spirits.

The spirit of what I was myself at their
age.

It was a bit of a Christmas ragging. And
you see, Master Harker, the law isn't

like ordinary things.

Sometimes the law has to put its foot
down and sometimes the law has to shut

eyes.

And the law makes much of what is called
motive.

What's prank when meant as prank may
become felony when meant as felony.

And what you saw was no more than a
prank.

But all the same, I'm obliged to you,
Master Harker. We in the law are always

grateful for evidence from one who knows
what's what.

So I'll keep my eyes and ears open and
I'll ask what aeroplanes were around

way this morning.

Did you get close enough to recognise
any of the parties?

Well, as I told you, we think we're sure
the old man kidnapped was old Mr.

Hallings, who gave us a bunch of judy
show at my house yesterday evening.

I shall make a note.

That'll be all, young gentlemen.

Condicott 7 ,000?

Yes.

I see.

Now, hold on, hold on.

Now, that is what we call in the law a
coincidence.

Our officer in Tatchester is inquiring
about your very punch and duty man, Mr

Cole, what was it, Hollins?

Has he been reported missing?

Not at all. He's at Tatchester Police
Station to show his licence.

And our officer wants to know if he's a
suitable person to perform before the

bishop. Oh, yes, he's splendiferous.

Hello. I have every reason to suppose,
from information received, that the man,

Hallins, can be trusted not to shock the
company.

Is he there?

Could I, please?

Would you bring Mr. Hallins to the
telephone, please?

There's a young gentleman here who would
like a word with him.

Hello, Mr.

Hallins.

Are you any the worse for your little
trip in the aeroplane?

He says none the worse, sir.

Oh, Mr. Hallins.

Who was it put you in the aeroplane?

Ah. He says some young friends with more
fun than sense.

Oh, and Mr. Hallins.

What brought you out to Bottler's Down
in the snow?

Ah.

He says it's the only flat bit where he
could meet the aeroplane.

Hello, Mr. Hallings. Are you all right?

Perfectly fine, thank you, young master.
You really are Mr.

Hallings. The woman found my ticket on
the railway station and was scrabbled

into the aeroplane. The very same, young
master.

Goodbye. Goodbye.

Goodbye.

So, that is that.

Now, that is how science helped the law.

You thought your friend was scrabbled,
and now you hear, by science and the

law... from his own lips that all is
well.

Well, I'm very glad, if he's safe. We're
sorry, Inspector, for taking up your

time. Hey, public man's time is the
public's.

It's my duty to listen to all and
sundry.

Sometimes there isn't enough for the law
to go on, but any tale that's first

-hand evidence, you bring it to the law
and depend upon it murder will out.

However dark the deed, we bloodhounds of
the law, as they call us, will bring it

into the limelight.

Yes, sir. Thank you, sir.

And over Christmas, you must come and
see my rabbits.

And I'll demonstrate that trick with
yard -boiled eggs.

Bloodhound of the law.

Was that really old Cole on the
telephone?

It sounded like him.

I'll shake the head.

I found an old clay pipe.

Oh.

Oh! This is one of your hats.

Yes, a rather good one, in fact.

Fine. Only a trouble.

Now, children, you're all getting wet
through.

It's all right, Ellen.

No, Master K, it's not all right. With
Miss Karen and Louisa away, it's my

responsibility. Have you had any
message?

Is she coming home? No.

Telephone's not working.

Are they doing their best?

They always say they're doing their
best.

Miss Maria!

Miss Susan, just look at you.

Miss Jemima, you really are old enough
to know better. Come on. Come on, Peter.

There's too much discipline here
altogether.

I can't help feeling we'll find out more
if we have another look.

Hey, look!

I know them. They were on the train
yesterday

on the way home from school.

I have a suspicion they picked my
pockets.

Curates? Picking pockets?

If they're curates.

You mean they're disguised?

Gosh, these holidays turning out to be
better than expected.

What are they doing?

Looking for something.

Something they expected to find on the
old man.

It's not here, Joe.

Come on.

Well, they've given up.

Come on, let's follow them.

I will.

Let's go home.

Are you Herm the Hunter?

Hey, are you coming into my wild wood?

Yes, please.

Now, be a stag in the wild wood with me.

Bye.

Did you see the wolves in the wood?

No.

That is why we became wild ducks.

You see the hawk in the air.

No. That is why we became fish in the
pool.

Now do you see the pike in the weeds?

how long all that took.

Ten to eleven?

All that took only two minutes.

Ten to eleven.

Abner Brown and the Rat.

If I push it to the right, I can go
small.

We'll dance from here.

Why, yes, but it's a bit of a pair
adventure.

There are some very terrible fellows
between here and there.

But we must get there quickly, by 11 o
'clock, and it's almost that now.

Won't you show me the way?

Oh, don't ask me.

Please don't ask me.

There's too much danger in it.

Hold tight to my hand, Mouse, and if
we're threatened, I'll find a way.

lot of them.

Don't make me. Please don't make me.

They'll see you.

To the left to go sweet.

The Prince Rupert's arms.

Where is he, that rat?

And where is the box?

As for the boy, that interfering,

overreaching boy, reporting to the
police, talking

on telephone.

What I won't do to that boy.
