The Clocks Come Back Home

Milly Paris had attended Tick-Tock School, and she had passed with flying colours. Mog Og went to collect her from Mabble Merlin’s shop and brought her back home. He put her on the sofa instead of putting her back in the dusty closet, and the next morning Miles noticed that she was working perfectly. He didn’t know how that had come about, but he put her back on the wall. Claudette de Seconds had decided not to come back. She asked to be taken back to the French court, and Mabble Merlin decided that was the best thing to do. She never again went back to the Laugherty household.

All the other clocks were repaired and in even better condition than when they were new. Miles was willing to collect them, but Mabble Merlin said he would deliver them back to their house, and this is what he did.

George Midnight, the grandfather clock, was feeling better than ever; Jasmine Feathersprings felt perfect and had a spring in her step; and Omega Horizon had had a facelift (a bit of a nip and tuck). Omega had her clock face seen to as it was cracked, but now she looked sensational with a slight tint to her face - as if she had a suntan.

The family were very pleased about the clocks returning in pristine condition. Mog Og was so glad they were back - especially his good friend George. He was over the moon, and he was looking forward to enjoying a lovely Christmas. He was so happy that Milly was back on the wall; and now she could tell the time perfectly - she didn’t miss a beat. She could tick and tock as well as anyone.

Polly Quazar was also glad to have Milly back on the kitchen wall.

All the clocks knew Claudette de Seconds would be going back to the French court, where she could be pampered, and they were very pleased for her.
