Jasper And The Green Marvel (2011) - Plot & Excerpts
He would have much preferred that they stayed locked up in the room, because they had a habit of getting into mischief when they were out and about. But just as he was leaving the room they raced across the floor. They ran up his legs, like two squirrels climbing a tree, and hopped into his inside pocket. He plucked them out by the scruffs of their necks and dropped them back in their drawer, but they scampered out again and clung to his ankles as he walked back to the door. With this, he gave up. ‘All right then,’ he said, ‘you can come out to the garden. But always remember – you have to behave! You have to be good!’ The two rats grinned as he removed them from his legs and lifted them into his pockets. When he clumped down the wooden stairs he found Mrs Knuttmegg waiting there, just outside the kitchen door. To his surprise, she didn’t sneer at him or make the usual sarcastic remarks; in fact she looked surprisingly ill at ease.
