His face was contorted, so he looked as if he were wearing one of the savage war masks of the Polynesian cannibals. But his face was not the truly scary thing about him. It was Cedric. Yes, once again Tortoise Boy was charging with Cedric raised high above his head in the classic tortoise attack position.
