Aggie Hoof Hears Things

Aggie Hoof skipped along the Linden House corridor to Felicity Bat’s door and readied her hand to knock. But she stopped when she heard a voice and pressed her ear to the door.

‘We’ll get you back up the pipes in no time. I just need to find the right one, or you could end up somewhere strange. Luckily you’re rare, so that narrows it down.’

Aggie Hoof’s eyes widened. ‘Fel-Fel has another friend?’ She turned the handle on the door and leapt inside.

‘Ah ha!’ she shouted.

‘What?’ Felicity Bat said, looking up from her book.

‘Who were you talking to?’ Aggie Hoof asked.

‘No one,’ Felicity Bat said dismissively.

‘Then my ears are hearing things again,’ Aggie Hoof said, jumping up on to the bed.

She didn’t notice Felicity Bat’s boot on the floor, wiggling all by itself.
