skimmed? Semi-skimmed? What about sugar? White sugar? Brown sugar? Cubes?Granulated? Demerara, Muscavado, Caster?People had long ago given up on asking Dys to make them tea. And she never, ever, in anyeventuality offered to make anyone cup of tea.I sat in stunned amazement for a few moments until I became aware that Mr Mangabey wasasking me a question.What kind of umbrella do you prefer?I answered, black ones, because that was all I could think of.Yes, I completely agree with you. A good sturdy black umbrella is suitable for rain, snow,sleet and even intense sunshine, whereas the coloured or plastic umbrella is really only goodfor a light summer shower. To change the subject. Have you ever wondered why there are somany words that start with cat compared with those that start with dog?There’sCatachresisCataclysmCatafalqueCatalepsyCatchCatalepticsCatalogueCaterCatapultCataractCatgutCatarrhCatastropheCattleCatchphraseCatkinCatsupCatechismCategoricalCaterpillarCaterwaulCatheterCatholicMr Mangabey paused to take a breath, while I wished Dys would hurry up with the tea.CatnapCatchmentCatchwordCatcallCatfishCattyCatchallCatalpaCatwalkCatsuitCataplasmCatatonia! 8
Mr Mangabey continued with a seemingly endless list of cat words, until what seemed likehours later he finally said,And, of course the word Cat itself.Dys had still not returned with the tea.The black bag started to wriggle again.And the tapping and scraping of the watch beneath the glass seemed to grow louder and moreurgent.But words beginning with dog… There’s not so many. Well there’sDogmaDogfishDoggerelDogeDoglegDogsbodyDogwood…and, um. I can’t really think of any more. Can you?I must go and see what’s happened to Dys, I saidThere was a loud crack as the watch flung itself against the side of glass with such force ittoppled over throwing the book to the floor. The watch slithered out from beneath the glassand slid across the table. Mr Mangabey’s thin hand shot out and grabbed it before it couldreach the edge. He slipped the watch back on to his wrist. But not before I caught a glimpse ofit frantically waving its tiny hands.The black bag writhed and twisted.I must go and find Dys, I repeated.It’s no good looking, said Mr Mangabey, She’s gone.I jumped to my feet.What do you mean she’s gone?You won’t find her. She’s not here. They will have taken her by now.Who has taken her? Where is she?Without waiting for an answer I ran into the kitchen. It was empty. I raced upstairs. I looked inher bedroom. It was empty. I looked in all the bedrooms. I opened the wardrobes. I banged onthe bathroom door, then flung it open. As I knew it would be the bathroom was empty s. Iwent back and looked under every bed and behind every door. I looked in the cupboard underthe stairs half expecting to find Dys crouched inside. But she was not there. Dys wasnowhere in the house. I returned to the kitchen and noticed that the back door was slightlyopen. I looked out into our back yard, straining my eyes to see through the darkness and therain. There was no sign of Dys.I began to panic and I found myself gasping for breath, as though I had fallen into a deep welland was breathing in lungfulls of black water.I was shaking uncontrollably when I returned to the front room.Sit down You, said Mr Mangabey gently, It’s time to let the cat out of the bag.Mr Mangabey Explains Everything and Explains Nothingor The Road Less Gravelled 10! 9
