Both cats had woken early, and Tilly crawled out of her blanket to add some kindling to the fire, coaxing it back to life. She pulled the curtain open slightly and noticed that it was still dark, but the frost had been a hard one and the window looking out over the Butters’ backyard was iced in beautiful patterns. ‘Jack Frost has been busy,’ she said brightly, rinsing the dirty cocoa mugs ready for their morning tea. ‘I hope Bruiser is OK in the shed.’ Hettie rubbed her eyes and sat up. ‘I’m sure he’ll be fine. He was very pleased to have some shelter, and he’d demolished our dinner before turning in for the night. I bet he got more sleep than I did.’ She accepted her tea gratefully, wrapping her paws round it to feel the heat. ‘We’ve got a difficult day ahead of us. I suppose we should see the sister first, although I’d rather have a better look round Miss Spitforce’s before the relatives start turning up.’ ‘Let’s go now then,’ said Tilly enthusiastically.
